Understanding Kabir’s poetry and performance traditions
Kabir was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet and saint whose writings greatly influenced
the Bhakti movement of Hinduism and Sufism in South Asia. His poetry is known for its deeply
spiritual and philosophical nature and its use of simple language and imagery to convey complex
ideas.
Kabir's poems were passed down through oral tradition and were often set to music, with
the poet reportedly singing and performing his works. This oral performance tradition continued
to evolve over the centuries, with different communities and groups adapting Kabir's poems to
various musical styles and instruments. Today, Kabir's poetry is still widely performed and
revered, with his verses incorporated into devotional songs, bhajans, and kirtans and sung by
professional musicians and lay devotees. Some of the most notable performances of Kabir's
poetry and traditions can be found in the ‘Had Anhad,’ Qawwali music of the Sufi tradition, as
well as in the bhakti traditions of northern India.
