Najmuddin Saifuddin & Group are renowned worldwide for their soul-stirring performances of Qawwali, the devotional music of Sufism that dates back over 700 years. As direct descendants of the original Qawwali court singers from the 13th century, the group brings unparalleled authenticity and spiritual depth to their performances.
The evening promises to be a transcendent journey through the mystical traditions of Sufism, featuring powerful vocals, hypnotic rhythms, and the timeless poetry of Sufi saints.
We are honoured to bring Najmuddin Saifuddin & Group to Southampton as part of our ongoing commitment to showcasing the finest traditional and contemporary South Asian performing arts. Qawwali music has a unique power to cross cultural and linguistic boundaries, speaking directly to the heart and soul. In today's divided world, these songs of love, devotion, and unity carry a message that resonates with audiences of all backgrounds.
You will hear interviews with the group on Unity 101, Awaaz FM and BBC Radio coming up over the next few weeks. You can see a previous performance on YouTube here.
