Pakistan
can boast of a rich cultural heritage. It is known for its music that can
be traced back to the 13th-century poet and musician Amir Khusru, who composed
the earliest ragas. Besides this, there is Qawwali, a form of devotional song,
which forms a part of the Sufi tradition. Qawwali is based on melodic and free-rhythmic
song-poems and classical musical forms, mostly performed at the shrines of Sufi
saints. The Pakistani music has evolved enormously over the years. Today, Rock
music is as popular as any other form of music. |
