Filmi qawwali
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Filmi qawwali (Urdu: فلمی قوٌالی, Hindi: फ़िल्मी क़व्वाली) is a form of qawwali music found in the Lollywood and Bollywood film industries.
It represents a distinct subgenre of film music, although it usually bears little resemblance to traditional qawwali, which is the devotional music of the Sufis. One example of filmi qawwali is the song Pardah Hai Pardah sung by Mohammed Rafi, and composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
Within the subgenre of filmi qawwali, there exists a form of qawwali that is infused with modern and Western instruments, usually with techno beats, called techno-qawwali. An example of techno-qawwali is Kajra Re, a filmi song composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. A newer variation of the techno-quwwali based on the more dance oriented tracks is known as the "club quwwali". More tracks of this nature are being recorded and released.
Recently, A.R. Rahman has composed filmi qawwalis in the style of traditional qawwali. Examples include Arziyan (Delhi 6), Khwaja Mere Khwaja (Jodhaa Akbar) and Kun Faya Kun (Rockstar).
