Enjoy a rare opportunity to see Pakistan’s famed Fareed Ayaz & Abu Muhammad Ensemble to perform Qawwali — a form of devotional Sufi music with origins in ancient Islamic poetry and brought to the west in the 20th century by the incomparable master of Sufi singing, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The ensemble’s musical roots go back 700 years in the tradition of Qawwal Bachon ka Gharana of Delhi. Lead singers, Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad, have been bringing South Asian music to international audiences for over thirty years. Accompanied by their chorus singers and percussionists, they weave together devotional and secular traditions for a transcendent evening of music. A soulful concert not to be missed!
