Home / Events / Mystical Melodies w/ Saami Brothers Qawwal

On July 12, Mystical Melodies invites audiences into a deeply immersive night of sacred sound and spiritual celebration. Featuring the Saami Brothers Qawwal from Pakistan alongside Chishty Ensemble, this powerful performance draws on centuries-old Sufi traditions that use music as a form of devotion, healing, and transcendence. With hypnotic vocals, rhythmic intensity, and lyrical poetry, the evening creates a space for reflection, connection, and collective uplift—offering not just a concert, but a journey into the heart of sacred expression.

Saami Brothers are a group of accomplished vocalists and humble custodians of the traditions of Qawwali and Khayaal of Hazrat Ameer Khusrau and Ustad Taanrus Khan Sahab. The four sons of the critically acclaimed Maestro Ustad Naseeruddin Saami, the Saami Brothers Qawwali are well-versed in several eastern classical genres, currently performing as a Riwayati Qawwali group. The Saami Brothers grew up in a family filled with rich musical heritage, referred to as Qawal Bachcha Delhi Gharana. The lineage of this Gharana leads back around 800 years to Saamat Bin Ibrahim, a principal student of Hazrat Ameer Khusro.
