Event Description

The Hyderabad based Warsi brothers, Nazeer Ahmed Khan and Naseer Ahmed Khan, have been immersed in the soundscapes of Qawwali since birth. Their musicality is inextricably linked to the genealogy of the art form of Qawwali. The Warsi brothers are flag bearers of the ‘gayaki’ tradition of the Delhi gharana known for its melody and mesmeric improvisations.

Tracing their ancestry from Khwaja Mohinuddin Chishti, to Mughal courts, to the court of the Nizam of Hyderabad, the Warsi brothers are inheritors of a rich cultural repository. Their musical repertoire is textured with many histories and stories and has woven in contemporary influences. They sing compositions of Amir Khusro, Bulle Shah, weaver poet Kabir Das and many others

Together with their troupe, the Warsi brothers preserve and carry on their 900 year old tradition of Qawwali and are renowned for their traditional Sufiana Qawwali .
