Renowned Qawwal Amjad Sabri was shot dead in Karachi on Wednesday afternoon. Sabri was one of the world’s finest qawwals, known for his soul-stirring renditions of mystic poetry. He enthralled music aficionados with his brand of spirituality, mysticism and ecstasy for years. He was not only well-versed with the structure and aesthetics of qawwali but also knew how to make it adaptive to the contemporary music keeping its essence alive. May his soul rest in peace, I firmly believe that God will accept him with open arms for all the good he has done while he was on this earth..........
