Qawwali
Qawwali is the exception to the rule for Islamic religious ceremonies; music is not allowed. Qawwali is popular in Pakistan and India and is played occasionally during weddings, child birth, and when a child is learning to read the Koran. The music is characterized primarily by its quick rhythms so that listeners can become inspired.
