Fanna-Fi-Allah
Sufi Qawwali Enchanters
Experience Fanna-fi-Allah live, and enter a world of emotional and spiritual intensity, where dervishes whirl, tears of devotion flow, and seekers fall into trance.
Qawwali is a passionate and fiery religious art form prevalent in South Asia - mainly Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Northern India. This Sufi tradition is guided by religious tolerance and the poetry of divine love as a source of wisdom. For nearly 800 years, Qawwali performers have woven poetry and intense rhythm with complex melodies to evoke a state of reverence, devotion, transformation, and ecstasy.
Fanna-Fi-Allah is one of the most popular traditional Qawwali groups of our time. The leader of the Canadian, American and Pakistani group Tahir Faridi Qawwalis (real name Geoffrey Lyons) is a Scottish Canadian who began studying North Indian classical music as a teenager. The group has been around for 24 years, has given over 1,500 concerts worldwide, released 12 albums, and created an 8-hour documentary series "Music of the Mystics".
By passing on the flame of the qawwali, the ensemble invites us to reflect on the importance of Sufi ideas in our diverse contemporary societies and how they can become a healing antidote to extremism and xenophobia.
