FAQ

Who counts as an original master in Pakistani qawwali? Typically the performers who were recording and performing during the formative period of Pakistani music (1950s-1970s) and whose work established the template for subsequent generations. Meher Ali, the Sabri Brothers, early Nusrat recordings all belong to this period.

Is Vol 2 as significant as Vol 1? Each volume serves the same documentary function. Specialists will want both; general listeners can begin with either.

How does original masters material sound compared to contemporary qawwali? Audio quality is more limited; performance energy is often considered higher. The trade-off is characteristic of archive versus contemporary recordings in any tradition.
