Name

Fareed Ayaz & Abu Muhammad Qawwali Ensemble

Description

NEW! Second show added!

Enjoy a rare opportunity to see Pakistan’s famed Fareed Ayaz & Abu Muhammad Qawwali Ensemble, returning to the Museum for the first time since our inaugural season in 2014 to perform Qawwali — a form of devotional Sufi music with origins in ancient Islamic poetry.

Known as “the path of the heart,” Qawwali expresses the fervent devotion of the great Sufi mystics. The music begins by drawing the audience in with a meditative rhythm of chants, melodies, and percussion. Steadily, the rhythm builds reaching ecstatic peaks that transport both musicians and listeners closer to the divine.

Fareed Ayaz & Abu Muhammad Qawwali Ensemble’s musical roots go back 700 years in the tradition of Qawwal Bachon ka Gharana of Delhi. Lead singers, Farid Ayaz and Abu Muhammad, accompanied by their chorus singers and percussionists, weave together devotional and secular traditions for a transcendent evening of music.
