Qawwali Night with The Saami Brothers
The Dartmouth Pakistani Students Association presents a night of traditional Qawwali music from The Saami Brothers. Free and open to the public.
The Saami Brothers are a highly acclaimed ensemble led by the sons of renowned master Ustad Naseeruddin Saami. Rooted in the 800-year-old Qawal Bachcha Delhi Gharana tradition, they are noted for delivering traditional Sufi devotional music and the use of a rare 49-note microtonal scale. Qawwali music is known for its rhythmic intensity, melodic improvisation, and lively call-and-response structure.
Free and open to the public.
Presented by the Dartmouth Pakistani Students Association. Sponsored by the Dept. of Asian Societies, Cultures & Languages and the Bodas Family South Asia Programming Funds at Dartmouth College, with additional support from the SPEC Fund & the Syke Fund.
