Tragic news of death of renowned Pakistani qawwal Amjad Sabri is shocking for music lovers in the entire Indian subcontinent. We all are shocked and saddened by the news of his killing. This heinous crime is not only about attack on our culture and heritage but on an entire human civilization. He is the latest victim of Taliban.
He enjoyed immense popularity in India and Pakistan. It looks like the world of qawwali has been orphaned by this great loss.
Amjad Sabri was the son of qawwal Ghulam Farid Sabri whose family is famous in the entire Indian subcontinent for its contribution to the art of qawwali.
His qawwalis touched the hearts of millions. He was both a great human being and singer respected by many. His life will surely be inspiration to the new generation of qawwals. — Ramesh G. Jethwani, Bangalore
