About RiyaazQawwali The art of qawwali, as with most of the great Asian musical and literary traditions, is transmitted orally ... The vehicle of music is used to bring one closer to the experience of the inner truth. The qawwal will dwell on certain words to give them a wider context creating great depth in the apparently simple language ... He will often repeat a phrase or sentence indicating both the obvious and hidden content by emphasizing or ruminating upon particular words and syllables, taking the audience into the discovery of hitherto obscure meanings. Thus, mundane objects are embued with deeper meaning — a spinning wheel becomes the wheel of life.
ISHQ - RIYAAZ QAWWALI'S LATEST ALBUM RiyaazQawwali’s 2nd CD features ghazals that are composed and performed in qawwali style. The selected pieces range from contemporary to classic poets. The CD tracks take writings that may have one angle and add another dimension more commonly found in qawwalis. • Tracks included are: • TujheDekhen (When I Look At You) - Bahadur Shah Zafar • MahiVeTere (To Steal a Glance of You) - Folk • ItnaBhiKaramUnka (Even This Small Gesture By You) - TahirFaraz • BohutKathinHai (A Difficult Journey) - Amir Khussrau • Rone Se Ishq Mein Bebak Ho Gaye (Weeping Deepened My Love) - MirzaGhalib
The ghazal genre does not concentrate on the questions of who or why, nor does it create limitations to the portrayal of the Beloved. What ghazals emphasize are the themes of love itself and the tribulations of the lover . The lover must endure in their unconditional admiration for the Beloved and quest for Union. Ghazals narrate the journey of the lover-protagonist and the suffering, cruelty, and sacrifices in their attempts to reach the beloved.
