SPIRIT OF QAWWALI UK TOUR 2025
Qawwali World presents: The SPIRIT OF QAWWALI UK TOUR 2025 featuring the legendary maestro – Faiz Ali Faiz and Sons Live in Concert - the internationally acclaimed and trail-blazing maestro and torchbearer of the sacred art after Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Faiz Ali Faiz is the undisputed master of Qawwali today – a vocalist whose electrifying voice and commanding presence have placed him at the very forefront of the Sufi music world. Hailing from a dynasty of eight generations of qawwals, he rose in the ranks when Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan himself chose Faiz Ali Faiz to replace him at a Qawwali mehfil when he fell ill – endorsing his talent and trust for the art of Qawwali.
With a vocal range of illustrious power and a rich timbre often likened to his legendary predecessor, he has rightfully earned recognition as the greatest living torchbearer of Qawwali. Since beginning his professional career in 1978 at just sixteen, Faiz has dazzled audiences across the globe – from stellar concerts at WOMAD Festival and the Barbican Centre, to Europe, the US, and Asia – igniting stages with spiritual experiences that transcend cultures. His fearless artistry honours the centuries-old tradition of qawwali while daring to push its boundaries – famously known for weaving in influences from classical, flamenco, and gospel to prove its universal, transformative power.
With his Spirit of Qawwali UK Tour 2025, Faiz Ali Faiz now returns with his sons Ali Shahbaz and Nazar Abbas to deliver the devotional ecstasy, thunderous passion, and the next generation of Qawwals that have made him an icon of world music and one of Pakistan’s greatest cultural ambassadors.
Joins us at this intimate concert of spiritual rapture – a rare chance to witness a voice and presence that critics hail as the true successor to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
