Performance highlights and selected moments
Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal, also known as Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal (Baddomalhi Walay), is a Pakistani Qawwali group known for powerful vocals, energetic live performances and contemporary presentations of traditional Sufi Qawwali. The brothers Shahbaz and Fayyaz have developed a strong audience in Pakistan and among South Asian communities internationally, particularly through their viral Qawwali “Bol Kaffara.”
Based in Lahore, Pakistan, Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal perform traditional and contemporary Qawwali for weddings, Mehfil-e-Sama, cultural programs, private functions, concerts and international events. Their repertoire also includes well-known Sufi and Qawwali compositions associated with the broader South Asian tradition.
Their rise in popularity demonstrates how traditional Qawwali can reach new audiences through live performances, television and digital platforms.
Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal identify themselves with Baddomalhi, reflecting their family's roots in the region. Their official biography describes a family background connected with classical and traditional music.
Their father, Ustad Shabbir Hussain Khan, is described as a versatile musician who performed classical singing and played instruments including tabla and harmonium. The family's earlier musical history also includes musicians associated with singing, tabla and sarangi.
The brothers have also credited their spiritual guide, Syed Salman Niaz Ahmad Aali Shah Sarkar, as an important influence on their journey and development as performers.
This combination of musical training, family tradition and Sufi influence forms an important part of the identity presented by Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal.
Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal gained significant public attention through their performances of “Bol Kaffara.”
The Qawwali became particularly popular through live Mehfil performances and social-media videos. Their performance style, strong vocal delivery and energetic presentation helped the group reach audiences well beyond traditional Qawwali circles. Multiple event and music sources describe “Bol Kaffara” as the performance that brought Shahbaz Fayyaz widespread attention.
Their digital presence subsequently became an important part of their career, with performances circulating widely on YouTube and social media.
“Bol Kaffara” is closely associated with Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal and remains one of the group's best-known performances.
The song became especially popular when performed live in Qawwali Mehfils, where the brothers' energetic vocals and traditional ensemble format connected strongly with audiences. The track's popularity also helped establish Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal as a recognizable name in Pakistan's contemporary Qawwali scene.
The song has continued to be featured in their live performances and international tours.
In 2021, Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal also performed “Bol Kaffara” at a private event in Lahore arranged by Fankar Online, alongside other Qawwali performances.
Following the popularity of “Bol Kaffara,” Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal released “Ishq De Rang.”
A 2022 report by Daily Pakistan described the release as a new Qawwali by the brothers and noted that it featured Sanam Marvi alongside Shahbaz Fayyaz. The song continued their approach of combining traditional Qawwali vocals with contemporary production.
“Ishq De Rang” added another prominent title to their recorded repertoire and demonstrated their ability to collaborate with established Pakistani vocalists.
Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal have also contributed vocals to Pakistani television and soundtrack projects.
Their documented OST repertoire includes:
Bol Kaffara
Ishq Te Ashiq
Dumpukht
Mahiya
Tu Pakistan
UK concert venues promoting their international tours have specifically highlighted these OST performances alongside their live Qawwali work.
Their involvement in television and soundtrack music has helped introduce their Qawwali vocals to audiences who may not regularly attend traditional Mehfil-e-Sama performances.
Another performance that became strongly associated with Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal is their Qawwali interpretation of the classic “Mera Dil Ye Pukare Aaja.”
The performance gained substantial online attention and was later incorporated into their international Qawwali shows. UK venues promoting the group have specifically mentioned the performance as one of their popular live numbers.
Their interpretation demonstrates the group's ability to take a familiar South Asian song and present it through the vocal dynamics and ensemble structure of Qawwali.
