Roy Thomson Hall and Aga Khan Museum present
Pakistani singer Abida Parveen is one of the most prominent and influential Sufi musicians of our time, and a pioneering artist who has taken on a form dominated by males. Breaking with tradition, she was taught by both her father, the renowned Ustad Ghulam Haider, and by master Ustad Salaamat Ali Khan, and performs interpretations of Sufi poetry solo and accompanied by harmonium and percussion. The Guardian called her “the greatest female Sufi singer in history,” and Björk has cited her music as an inspiration.
