Sufi Qawwali musicians Fanna-Fi-Allah set to make appearance at The Apex

Fanna-Fi-Allah give us a glimpse into the vibrant musical heart of the Sufi mystics: with powerful choruses accompanied by energetic rhythms of tabla and group clapping and they are set to appear at The Apex, in Bury St Edmunds, later this month.

A passionate and fiery art form, Sufi Qawwali music weaves ancient poetry and intense rhythm with complex melodies, to invoke an atmosphere of reverence and devotional ecstasy.

Fanna-Fi-Allah’s founding members have spent over 20 years learning this classical art-form with some of the greatest masters of Qawwali in India and Pakistan. With the blessings of the masters, the ensemble carries the flame of traditional Sufi Qawwali around the world.

Fanna-Fi-Allah (pictured above) seek to represent the music in its traditional, authentic form and over the last 22 years they have built a cultural bridge between East and West, embodying a universal message of tolerance that is crucial to our time, while enthralling audiences with their passionate style and inspiring musical precision.

They’ve released 10 albums to date, plus an eight-hour documentary series, “Music of the Mystics”, and have become one of the most popular traditional Qawwali ensembles of the present day.

They offer audiences around the world a unique glimpse into the rich and vibrant culture of Qawwali, a soulful, ecstatic and stirring musical experience and are appearing at The Apex on Tuesday, June 18, at 7.30pm.
