In an attempt to propagate this idea, Mid Day, on the eve of World Music Day is organising an evening of Sufiana kalaams in collaboration with socio-cultural organisation Swar Dharohar. The musical event, Shaam-e-Sukoon, will include performances of renowned Sufi singers Nawab Sabri and Zafar Hayat Nizami. More follows on the show that will make you feel at ease. Read on.u00a0
Legends on stage
The festival will open with a performance by Delhi-based Niyaz Sabri, a third generation Sufi singer. He says, "My performance will be a tribute to Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, one of the greatest Sufi mystics of all times." It will be followed by a session of Sufiana Qalams by Zafar Hayat Niyaz. He says, "Irrespective of the composition of audience, no Sufi concert is complete without classics like damadam mast kalandar, naina mila ke and mora piya ghar aaya." The recital will be the first in the series of performances. "Through this event, we try to restore faith in a calm and composed life. And there couldn't be a better occasion to kick-start it than the eve of International Music Day," says, G M Khan, president, Swar Dharohar.u00a0
Deep dive in to Sufi
In the words of Nawaz Sabri, "The most important element of the sect is to respect the rituals of every religion and rise above extremists' thoughts. And Sufi music instantly touches the soul of people and helps them connect with the god and people around." While the Sufi Movement started several centuries ago, the Indian tryst with the Sufi music began only 800 or 900 years back, when Garib Nawaz Mohideen Christy in Ajmer started propagating Islam through Sufi qawwali.
The featured artists at the event will take you deep into the legacy of Sufi cult. So, be there.u00a0
