Ghazals, qawwalis are the ‘sounds of my childhood’: Ali Fazal

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actor Ali Fazal has been educating himself about the well-known ghazals of his hometown Lucknow.

Incidentally, it was Ali’s uncle Rizwan Saeed, who introduced him to the maestro of qawwali, Habib Painter.A couple of days ago, the actor shared a video of the late Painter, performing a qawwali titled “Bohot kathin hai dagar panghat ki”.

“It’s upon us to keep our legacy alive. With so much conversation around remixes and remakes, I find the need to rediscover our musical roots and remind ourselves of our rich musical heritage,” said Ali.
