Qawwali and ghazal are poetry-led forms where pronunciation and phrasing carry the emotion. The vocal authenticity has to be right.
Lyrics and style
Write poetic, emotive Urdu/Hindi lyrics and prompt for the traditional instrumentation — harmonium, tabla, claps for qawwali — and a soulful delivery.
Authentic vocals
Autunes (Zori3) pronounces Urdu and Hindi authentically, so the qawwali or ghazal sounds genuine rather than phonetic. Use variations to find the most expressive take.
- Authentic Urdu/Hindi pronunciation.
- Traditional instrumentation.
- Soulful, poetic delivery.
