Kaloo Qawwal was an early Indian qawwali – a singer of Islamic devotional music in the mystical Sufic tradition. He recorded extensively in the 1930s and also performed on Indian radio stations and in large live concerts.
Kaloo Qawwal here is heard beautifully singing accompanied by a harmonium, tabla, and an unidentified string instrument.
My technology-assisted translation of the title is “We will go to the house of Allah and Muhammad”. If a native Hindi speaker has a better translation, please comment below.
It is believed this record was recorded and released between 1933 and 1935.
