Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (Urdu/Punjabi: نصرت فتح علی خان; 13 October 1948 – 16 August 1997) was a Pakistani musician, primarily a singer of Qawwali, the devotional music of the Sufis.[1] Considered one of the greatest voices ever recorded, he possessed an extraordinary range of vocal abilities[2][3][4][5] and could perform at a high level of intensity for several hours. Extending the 600-year old Qawwali tradition of his family, Khan is widely credited with introducing Qawwali music to international audiences.[6] He is popularly known as "Shahenshah-e-Qawwali", meaning "The King of Kings of Qawwali“
Humnawa in qawwali groups[edit]

Absence of women-singers from all-male qawwali groups: a historical perspective[edit]
A group of qawwali musicians, called Humnawa in Urdu, typically consists of eight or nine men. Women are usually excluded from traditional Muslim music as ' respectable women' are traditionally prohibited from singing in mixed-gender public gatherings. Traditionally over the centuries, this has been the practice per the general interpretation of Islamic Law by the religious scholars. Although women are encouraged to hold their own 'Women Only' gatherings for reciting religious 'Naats' and holding live dance and music parties with musical instruments on 'Just- Before- Weddings-Mehndi' celebrations. This again, has to be a 'Women Only' event per the long practiced tradition where Islam generally discourages mixed-gender gatherings among unmarried women and unmarried men. Although in the 20th century, the so-called modern era, actual practice among Islamic societies, has been that one will see a lot of female musicians and female singers holding public concerts for both men and women. For evidence, one can just read the musician name lists on this page to spot a lot of female names on those lists now.

Rubab, robab or rabab (Pashto: رباب, Urdu: رباب, Azerbaijani: Rübab, Turkish: Rübab, Persian: رُباب rubāb, Tajikand Uzbek рубоб) is a lute-like musical instrument originating from central Afghanistan.[1] It derives its name from the Arab rebab which means "played with a bow" but in Central Asia the instrument is plucked and is distinctly different in construction. The rubab is mainly used by Pashtun, Tajik, Turkish, Kashmiri, Baluch, Azerbaijani, and Iranian Kurdish classical musicians. Rabab is a national music instrument of Afghanistan
Construction[edit]

The rubab is a short-necked lute whose body is carved out of a single piece of wood, with a membrane, covering the hollow bowl of the sound-chamber, upon which the bridge is positioned. It has three melody strings tuned in fourths, two or three drone strings and up to 15 sympathetic strings. The instrument is made from the trunk of a mulberry tree, the head from an animal skin such as goat, and the strings either gut (from the intestines of young goats, brought to the size of thread) or nylon.
Meaning of Rubab
Rubab is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “good deeds”, “blessings”, “strong bond”. It is the plural of the word Rubbaa and is derived from the R-B-B root which is used in many places in the Quran.
Rubab, robab or rabab is actually a lute like musical instrument that originated in Afghanistan and North West Pakistan, but is also played in the neighbourhood nations. It derives its name from Arab Rubab that means played with a bow but the Central Asian Instrument is plucked and is uniquely different in construction. The Rubab is essentially used by Pashtun, Tajik, Kashmiri and Iranian Kurdish classical musicians. The Rubab is a short necked lute whose body is carved out of single piece wood, with a membrane, covering the hollow bowl of sound chamber, on which the bridge is positioned. It has three melody strings tuned in fourths, three drone strings and 11 and 12 sympathetic strings. The instrument is also made from the trunk of mulberry tree, the head from an animal skin like a goat skin, and the strings either gut (from the intestines of young goats, brought to the size of thread) or nylon. The Rubab is also called "the lion of instrument", and is one of the two national instruments of Afghanistan along with Zerbaghali. This instrument often features in the classical Afghan music. It forms as a key component, and elsewhere it is called Kabuli Rebab. It is the ancestor of South Asian sarod though - unlike the sarod, it is a fretted instrument. When the Muslim musician Mardana became the first disciple of Guru Nanak the plucked rabab became an essential component of Panjabi hymns though, once again, though it derived its name from the rabab the Punjabi instrument adopts a different method of construction. The rabab is attested from the 7th century CE. It is mentioned in Old Persian books, and many Sufi poets mention it in their poems. It is the traditional instrument of Khorasan and today it is widely used in countries, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, India, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The rubab holds as the first instrument used by Sikhism, it was used by Bhai Mardana the companion of Guru Nanak whenever a shabad was revealed to Guru Nanak he would sing it and Bhai Mardana would play it on his rubab he was known as a rubabi. The rubab playing tradition is still carried on by some sikhs such as Namdharis is understood as Sikh music. In Tajikistan, a similar but in a way different and distinct Rubab-i-Pamir (Pamiri Rubab) is played having a shallower neck and body. The rubab of the Pamir area has six gut strings, one of which, rather than running from the head to the bridge, is close partway down the neck, alike to the fifth string of the American banjo
