Assalam o Alaikum,
Over the years, various matami sangatain have gained fame for their heart wrenching nohay or style of matam and azadari. Chakwal party has both. Even as a child, I had memories of groups coming from Chakwal to attend majalis and juloos in Islamabad. These groups had a unique style of matam where they literally would spring a few inches off the ground while doing matam . This would increase the intensity of their matam to a new level.
The videos below don't really show this unique style of matam; however, by listening to the nohay, you will realize their amazing heritage. Whereas I've managed to only upload a single album (2005) from Chakwal party, one can find many more latest albums online in both audio and video format.
