Jashn-e-Qawwali, 2014

The Qawwal brothers from Hyderabad – Nazeer Ahmed Khan Warsi, Naseer Ahmed Khan Warsi and others – belong to the old Delhi Gharana of Hindustani music. The brothers got their first lessons in music from their father Ustad Zaheer Ahmed Khan and grandfather, Aziz Ahmed Khan. 
The family goes by the name of Qawwal Bachchon ka Gharana. It traces its lineage to Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia and Hazrat Amir Khusrau, who are said to have adapted Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti’s qawwali and to have taught it to twelve initiates – or the first Qawwal Bachche – to spread the spirit of Sufism. The style of Warsi brothers is best known for the purity of ragas, measured tones and talas-all distinctive characteristics of this gharana. They are recognized All India Radio and Doordarshan artists of traditional Sufiana qawwali, thumri, and classical compositions. 
They have been honoured with many awards which include the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award.

Background : Over the past six decades, Sangeet Natak Akademi has built up an archive of audio and video tapes, photographs, slides and films on the performing arts.
