The ongoing Swaralaya Soorya Dance and Music Festival witnessed an effusion of Sufi music in pure Qawwali form at Rapadi open air auditorium here on Friday evening.
Sufi musicians Ashraf Hydroz and Athar Husain Khan took the crowds back to the mysticism and purity of Sufi music. “Even when making experiments, we never renounce the purity and originality of Sufi music,” said Hydroz during an interaction with the media earlier in the day.
Paying tributes to Amir Khusrau, widely regarded as the father of Sufi Qawwali music, Hydroz and Khan rendered Chaap tilak sab cheeni in a nostalgic style.
