Qawwali music legends, Rizwan and Muazzam, the nephews of the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, announce a London headline show.
The group will showcase their new album, At the Feet of the Beloved, as well as playing the UK premiere performances from Chain of Light, the lost Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan album which was first released last year; discovered 34 years after it was recorded.
“At The Feet of The Beloved revives the traditional sound of a Qawwal party: harmonium drones, a steady pulse of handclaps rising and falling in intensity, tablas poised for firecracker explosions and voices raining down devotions both divine and secular.” (⭐⭐⭐⭐ Financial Times)
Their live performances are majestic, exciting, and deeply joyful, and it takes classical music into totally unexpected corners - using hypnotic vocal repetition to induce a state of ecstasy, their soaring voices are backed by a gharana, an ensemble of harmonium and tabla accompanied by handclaps.
