	Micallef folksings on the scales of C major and D major. He can also perform improvised verse between two, ''spirtu pront ta' bejn tnejn''. Pawlu does not come from an ''għana'' environment, and is actually also a fan of rock, pop and soul music. His decision to move from rock to ''għana'' was consciously made, claiming that when he folksings, he is aware that he is part of this living native culture and is helping keeping it alive.

	Micallef sees ''għana'' as an analogy to boxing, in that a good folksinger knows how to corner an opponent, who requires the mental strength to come out of the bout unscathed. It is also imperative to keep to the subject being sung, an ability which is becoming rarer. His favourite folksinger is [[Ninu Galea l-Kalora]], because he had the main attributes that makes one, and never dished malice in his verse and the ''makjetti'' written and sung by [[John Laus ~~tal~~-Lajżer]].

	He feels that the level of ''għana'' has abated in the last two decades, although a new promising crop is coming through and is unhappy with the disturbances and ambient noise generated by the audience during events. He is aware that should one stop during an improvised verse, to allow the noise to subside, like they do in theatres, this could be interpreted that he has forgotten the next stanza to folksing. So they go on, taking the noise within their stride.
