Powerful and evocative vocals

A goosebumps atmosphere is guaranteed when the renowned Fareed Ayaz, Abu Muhammad Qawwal & Brothers perform at City Hall Square. The group is led by Fareed Ayaz, along with his younger brother Abu Muhammed, while other brothers and family members make up the rest of the musical core. In the famous qawwali style, the music is performed by powerful vocalists, who go through several verse chorus sequences supported by other singers, as well as harmonium, tabla, dholak and clapping. In addition to the classical qawwali repertoire, the group is also known for performing semi-classical forms such as tarana, thumri and khayal.
