Aga Khan Museum’s World Music Series continues with music and dance from the Indian subcontinent, ancient Anatolia and present-day Turkey, the Balkans, and West Africa. Discover unexpected connections between diverse musical cultures in these summer performances.
This second co-presentation brings the spotlight on qawwali, a dynamic form of Sufi devotional music from the Indian subcontinent. Featuring Tahir Hussain Faridi (tahirqawwal.com) on lead vocals and harmonium with an ensemble of talented musicians, Fanna-fi-Allah Sufi Qawwali Party merges heavy rhythmic grooves with passionate vocals that have already captivated audiences from Africa to Europe, Indonesia to the US.
This performance will include a tribute to Amjad Sabri.
