 Section 2: Communication Skills
Please read the following passage and answer the multiple-choice questions that follow.
"Everybody thinks we are all terrorists," our friend and driver Asif tells us, “That’s why there are no
tourists here these days. But look around you, nobody is bothering you, people are happy that you are
here." We are sitting at a street restaurant in the old city of Lahore, near the astonishing Mughal citadel
of the Lahore fort and the Badshahi mosque, ordering bowl after bowl of utterly delicious chickpeas
stewed in a chicken and coriander stock, served with nan bread fresh baked in their clay oven. Lahore
surely has some of the world's great street food, often served by one-dish restaurants, which its
famously Epicurean inhabitants will cross the city to sample. The food is not always for the faint-hearted;
before we settle on the chickpea joint, we are taken as a treat to a restaurant where we are offered the
three bovine options on the menu: brain, hoof or tongue.
Alongside its culinary arts, Lahore's other cultural treasure is its music, which is why we are here.
Qawwali is a form of Muslim mystic – Sufi – devotional music. Its roots go back seven centuries, although
it was the great qawwal Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan who brought it to international exposure. Nusrat, who
died in 1997, was based in Lahore, and today the city is full of musicians of all sorts. Sam, my producer
and guitarist and I have come from London to connect with this deeply rooted and hugely popular form
of devotional music. We're part of a British Council/Southbank Centre project called ‘The Language of
Love’ that facilitates collaborations between musicians from India, Pakistan and the west.
Sufism is often celebrated as the softer face of Muslim culture. Celebrating the union of Sufi saints with
the divine, qawwali is designed to create an ecstatic trance mood, and is most typically performed at
Sufi shrines. Sufi saints are thought to be channels of "baraka" – divine blessing – and to have powers of
intercession. Qawwali can be pious but also transgressive in its adoration of the saints and its
glorification of states of "intoxication" and loss of self. The performers stand or fall on their ability to
deliver a sense of rapture to the audience; the most famous qawwals command huge fees and when
shrine performances occur, banknotes are showered on performers who make a lyric or sentiment hit
home.
The singers draw on a repertoire of hundreds of songs which are sung mainly in Urdu or Punjabi. A main
voice is backed by others singing in unison, sometimes in call and response, and sometimes taking the
lead and it's impossible not to be swept away on the tide of their emotion. There are moments of
improvisation, but these are tunes built around killer hooks. Handclaps, “table” and other hand
percussion drive the music forward relentlessly. The magnificent Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan typified how
qawwali is performed with such passion that you sense the singer trying to tear away the veil of
separation between himself and the "beloved".

a. Disdain.
