The World Sufi Spirit Festival, patronized by renowned international artist Sting and supported by the Aga Khan Foundation, will have the evergreen Rabbi performing at the festival. This year audiences will get to see a different side to Rabbi as he performs songs of memorable journeys through life. This elusive yet very talented artist will be seen sharing a common platform with leading exponents of Sufi.
Back in its 6th year with a host of talent from across the world, WSSF is all geared up to enthrall music aficionados. With the serene Mehrangarh and Ahichhatragarh Forts as the backdrop, these leading exponents of Sufi will showcase an enriching amalgamation of musical traditions across geographical boundaries. This year WSSF will bring forth traditions of the East, Asia and Africa to the rich heritage of India.
The festival will witness performances by talented artists from Egypt, Turkey, France, Pakistan, Paris, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Cochin and Lucknow along with traditional Rajasthani folk musicians. Hosted by the Royal family of Jodhpur, WSSF will kick start on 22nd February at Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur and will culminate on 27th February at Ahichhatragarh Fort, Nagaur.
