Ghazal

Ghazal is a classical music genre originating in ancient Middle Eastern and South Asian traditions, characterized by soulful, poetic vocals, and intricate instrumentation, often featuring the tabla, harmonium, and sarangi. Emerging in the 10th century, ghazal evolved through the centuries, influenced by Persian, Arabic, and Indian musical styles. Its golden era was in the 1960s-1980s, with popularization in India and Pakistan. Ghazal's cultural significance lies in its emotive expression of love, spirituality, and social commentary, often using Urdu and Persian poetry. It is closely related to qawwali, sufiana, and Hindustani classical music, but distinct in its focus on lyrical nuance and melodic ornamentation. Notable for its soaring vocals, complex ragas, and devotional intensity, ghazal continues to captivate audiences with its timeless, introspective beauty.
