AIL Activity

Qawali Night is a cherished cultural event that brings the soulful traditions of South Asian devotional music to life on campus. Known for its spiritual depth and rhythmic intensity, Qawali is a form of Sufi music that has the power to move audiences, transcending language and cultural barriers.

The night is typically held outdoors, with a beautifully lit stage and traditional seating arrangements, creating an atmosphere of mysticism and cultural immersion. Students, faculty, and guests gather to experience the powerful renditions of classical Qawali singers, accompanied by harmoniums, tablas, and clapping hands.

The lyrics often revolve around themes of divine love, faith, and devotion, captivating the audience with their profound meanings. Qawali Night offers students a chance to connect with their cultural roots while also providing an opportunity for those unfamiliar with the tradition to experience something new.
