Qawwali originates from the word Qawl, or Qual, 'expression' and uses same intricate rhythmic cycles and laws of ascending, descending scales binding Classical Indian Music. Usually, Qawwali meant a recital in classical rendering of Persian or Urdu poets such as Ameer Khusro and Allama Iqbal until the days of Salamat and Nusrat, when a new breed of Qawwali emerged from Punjab, fusing east and west. Bakhshi Javaid Salamat is the son of Ustad Bakshi Salamat who was respected by Ustad Fateh Ali Khan (father of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan). When Ustad Bakhshi Salamat died in 1982, The Great Nusrat fateh Ali Khan took Bakhshi Javaid Salamat (BJS) under his wing as his most able pupil. A huge vacuum was created in the Qawwali world after the death of Nusrat Feteh Ali Khan in 1997. This vacuum has been filled by Bakhshi Javed Salamat, son of Bakhshi Salamat, scion of the great Roorey Khan and pupil of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The Bakshi Javaid Salamat Qawwali Group has continued and uplifted the trend of 'fusion qawwali' by blending the eastern system with western pop, rock, hip hop and samba percussion. |
