Jhoole Laal Maizik Tuch — Pakistani Qawwali MP3 Collection
Jhoole Laal Maizik Tuch is a collection title that places devotional content associated with Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in a music production context — the Maizik Tuch suggesting that the recordings have been given a contemporary audio treatment rather than being purely archival. The Jhoole Laal tradition has generated an enormous body of qawwali and devotional music over the centuries, performed by hundreds of qawwals and devotional singers across Sindh, southern Punjab and beyond.
The Jhoole Laal Corpus
The urdu qawwalis associated with Lal Shahbaz Qalandar are among the most emotionally intense in the Pakistani devotional tradition. His shrine's dhamaal culture — the ecstatic dance that takes place there continuously — has produced a specific kind of devotional music that is more physically driven and rhythmically insistent than the more meditative streams of qawwali. The qawalies in this collection are filled with sofiyana kalam from the poets of the Sindhi and southern Punjabi sufi traditions.
iRulz has paid homage to this tradition by hosting numerous collections of video qawwali alongside audio recordings. Master Saleem, Best of Nusrat Fatheh Ali Khan Vol 1 and Lok Virsa Qawal Party Vol 1 represent related projects from different angles of the same tradition.
