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.
