Their art transcends borders, as evident from their "Live In Damascus" album, and their craft has been recognized globally, evidenced by the release of "Greatest Hits" volumes that showcase the most beloved pieces of their voluminous work. Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad not only partake in preserving the foundation of Qawwali music but also in its evolution, perpetuating its resonance in the contemporary world of music.
