Qawwali is the devotional music of Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam,which originated in the tenth century in what is present-day Iran. It began with the foundation of the Chisti order of Sufis by followers of the Khwaja (master)Abu-Ishak Chisti. Two hundred years later Qawwali travelled with the Sufis to India. Qawwali was spread by Khwaja Mueen-Ud-Din Chisti converting 9 million people to Islam throughout the sub-continent. The word 'sufi' means 'wearer of wool' and originally it designated a very specific religious sect. They called themselves 'faqara', meaning poor (in spirit). 'Faqara' is the plural of 'faqir'(in Persian, 'darvish') from which the English 'dervish' is derived. The whirling Sufi dances of Turkey are known as the dervishes- the physical equivalent of qawwali's spiralling vocals.
