Qawwali World presents: The SPIRIT OF QAWWALI UK TOUR 2025 featuring the legendary maestro – Faiz Ali Faiz and Sons Live - internationally acclaimed Qawwal known for Qawwali Flamenco fusion, 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 energetic atmosphere have placed him at the very forefront of Sufi Music. Hailing from Lahore, in 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 WOMAD and the Barbican to World Music festivals in Europe, Africa 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.
Under Qawwali World, 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.
Join 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.
