Music of the Mystics: Sufi Qawwali night with Fanna-Fi-Allah

Experience the Timeless Tradition of Sufi Qawwali, Live in Concert

Gloucester Guildhall, Gloucester. Doors open at 7pm

Now in their 27th year of international touring, Fanna-Fi-Allah is one of the foremost traditional Qawwali ensembles in the world today. With thousands of performances across 50+ countries, they carry the living spirit of Sufi shrine music to global audiences.

Led by Tahir Qawwal and supported by a masterful ensemble of tabla, harmonium, and choral vocals, the group remains rooted in the classical Qawwali tradition, without fusion, electronics, or pop crossover.

Each performance is a vibrant expression of spiritual passion, featuring the poetry of Sufi saints such as Amir Khusrau and Baba Farid, delivered through powerful rhythms of clapping, soaring chorus lines, and deep, trance-inducing cycles. The atmosphere often includes whirling Sufi dancing and a communal, ecstatic energy that transcends language or belief. Though born in the Sufi Islamic tradition, this music invites all people, regardless of background, into a shared space of unity and divine love.
