For over two decades, the Fanna-Fi-Allah Sufi Qawwali ensemble has been the preeminent torchbearer of traditional Sufi Qawwali music on a global scale.
Upholding the art form in its most authentic and time-honored tradition, Fanna-Fi-Allah serves as a vital cultural conduit between the East and the West, championing a message of universal tolerance that is imperative for our current era.
The ensemble has enlightened global audiences with an unparalleled insight into the rich tapestry of Qawwali culture.
Their performances have graced prestigious international festivals and concert stages across the United States, Canada, Pakistan, China, Russia, Europe, Australia, Indonesia, India, and Africa. Qawwali is a passionate devotional practice in which the fire of divine love (ishq) is ecstatically expressed through the mystical verses of Sufi poets, sung in Urdu, Farsi, Hindi and Punjabi.
The origins of qawwali music date back about a thousand years to the first sufi mystics who came to India. Qawwali has evolved into an immense art form spanning over hundreds of years of poets, languages & musical evolutions.
Fanna-Fi-Allah have also been blessed to play Qawwali in its traditional setting at the honoured tombs of Sufi saints in Pakistan and India, where qawwali originates. These include the sacred shrines of: Data Ganj Baksh (Lahore), Baba Ganj-e-Shakar (Pak Pattan), Baba Bulleh Shah (Kasoor), Baba Lasuri Shah (Faislabad) and in India at the tombs of Khwaja Nizzam-Ud-Deen Aulia, Amir Khusrau, Pir Inayat Khan (Delhi), & Khwaja Mueen-Ud-Deen Chishty (Ajmer).
They have published over 10 albums on music labels Tabaruq Records and Buda Musique (France). Their award-winning documentary Music of the Mystics will offer audiences an even deeper glimpse into Sufi culture and the beauty of Qawwali.
