Western classical singing/music: you must sing standing up, tall and chest out for the BEST performance and voice, sing with your CHEST, MINIMAL BODY MOVEMENT

Qawaals: So hey listen to me perform this 100 verse poetry for three hours while sitting crossed legged, slouching on the floor while CHEWING ON PAAN, moving my body as enthusiastically as possible, playing an instrument, all while maintaining vocals and range with precision and ease like its NOTHING

[rangraiza]

حشر تِیک تیرا وچھوڑا نئیں پُلنا

کُھلنا اے راز مَر کے وی نئیں کُھلنا

محبت وی ہے گَر ہر شے توں کاری

آ میڈا ڈھولا کراں بیٹھی زاری

-خواجہ غلام فرید

لوگوں نے روز ہی کچھ نیا مانگا رب سے ❤ ایک ہم ہی تیری یاد سے آگے نا جا سکے ❤

pakistani songs/qawaali is absolutely beautiful, my pakistani friend introduced me to coke studios a while back and I loved it, your posts made me want to go back and listen to them again! I've always been especially in love with the more religious songs (like allahu akbar), I never knew how much arabic was incorporated into pakistani music and poetry I was pleasantly surprised.

I wasn’t going to reply to this because its been so long but I am back on my coke studio/qawaali grind and coincidentally listening to Allahu Akbar right now v.v Yes Urdu as a language has a lot of Persian and Arabic vocab, and since Pakistan is a muslim-majority country i guess for that reason Urdu poets and musicians and artists have always loved incorporating Perso-Arabic words in their poetry and lyrics. I’ve never really thought about it until now but yeah, its a phenomenon thats very historically and culturally significant in the creation of the language itself.
