We are pleased to announce the UK tour after 7 years The five of brothers, Najmuddin Saifuddin and their group members shall enthral us with Traditional Sufi Qawwali.

The touring group traces their ancestry back to the 13th-century and are considered today the leading singers of the Sufi Qawwali tradition. Their songs are of thousands of years of mystic poetry, which have been passed on from generation to generation.

The songs, which constitute the qawwali repertoire, are in a number of languages. Those from the classical period are in dialects of north India like Braj Bhasha, Awadhi, Purbi and the others which continue to have huge influence on qawwali with the rich tradition of Urdu, Punjabi, Persian and Saraiki. The qawwali performance have typically of eight or nine persons, including lead singers, harmoniums tabla, dholak and a chorus who repeat key verses, and who aid percussion by hand-clapping audiences. As a musical genre, qawwali is closely linked to the Hindustani classical tradition of the Asian subcontinent.


The group are also featured in a film 'Songs of the Sufis' which is being screened at the Tung Auditorium before the concert. The film explores the history, culture, etiquette, and the universal message of love that Qawwali embodies.
