The music was popularized outside of South Asia in the late 20th century, owing largely to its promotion by the world-music industry. Deriving its name from the Arabic word qaul, meaning “to speak,“ qawwali is a musical vehicle by which a group of male musicians—called qawwals—delivers inspirational Sufi messages to a traditionally male assembly of devotees. A typical qawwali ensemble consists of one or two lead vocalists; a chorus of hand-clapping qawwals who sing the refrains; a harmonium (a small, hand-pumped, portable organ) player, who supports the fixed melody as well as the melodic improvisations of the soloist; and a percussionist, who articulates the metric framework using a dholak (double-headed drum) or a tabla (a pair of single-headed drums). Qawwali takes place in the context of a mehfil-e samāʿ, a “gathering for [spiritual] listening.“ The most significant of these gatherings take place in Sufi shrines on the anniversary of the death of the saint who is associated with the shrine. Lesser mehfil-e samāʿ are held throughout the year on Thursdays, when Muslims remember the deceased, or on Fridays, the day of prayer. Qawwali performances may also be arranged to offer spiritual nourishment on other special occasions. The Indian composer and Persian-language poet Amīr Khosrow (1253-1325) is the popularly acknowledged creator of qawwali, and his works form the foundation of the traditional qawwali repertoire. Indeed, most traditional performances of qawwali both open and close with songs that are attributed to him; the closing song, known as rang, commemorates his spiritual relationship with his teacher, Niẓām al-Dīn Awliyāʾ (Nizamuddin Auliya), a leader of the Chishtiyyah order of Sufism. The name of Amīr Khosrow has continued to be revered within the qawwali community—from a spiritual, poetic, and musical perspective—and those singers who are today considered to be the most “authentic“ usually trace their performance lineage to him.
