Meet Abdullah Niazi Qawwals.
Abdullah Niazi Qawwals
Abdullah Manzoor Niazi was born in Karachi in 1960, the eldest of Manzoor Niazi Qawwal's sons, and sings in the line of the Qawwal Bachchon Ka Gharana of Delhi. His father and his uncle Bahauddin Qawwal taught him the form, and in 2015 he formed a party of his own in which his sons sing behind him. The poetry of Amir Khusrau is at the heart of what they perform.
