I have never heard that Abida studied qawwali under Nusrat. Does anyone know for sure whether this is true?

I don't believe it's true. Sarabseth 03:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A bit POV

Claims about Parveen's magnificent voice are a bit POV, but I didn't edit it out because I wasn't sure what to put instead. Can we source these words to someone (or even a critical consensus)? --Dvyost 22:28, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] musical training

"She received her musical training initially from her father, Ghulam Haider, and subsequently from Ustad Salamat Ali Khan." The Ghulam Haider entry says her father died before she was born. Sarabseth 03:03, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

This link is not correct. Abida's father is not to be confused with the Music Director Ghulam Haider. Abida's father ran a music school and was very much alive when Abida was born.

[edit] Passed Away

Just curious...why is "passed away" not kosher?

Seems to me it's a cultural bias. There are large parts of the world where "passed away" is the normal usage, e.g. India-Pakistan. So using this phrase in the context of articles relating to that region seems perfectly okay to me. But what do I know? --Sarabseth 12:35, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
