Experience an afternoon steeped in the Qawwali tradition with Ustad Abdullah Niazi and Waqas Niazi Qawwal. Descendants of the revered Qawwal Bachchon Ka Gharana of Delhi, the Niazi family continues a centuries-old legacy rooted in the teachings of Amir Khusro and shaped by generations of spiritual and musical devotion.
Ustad Abdullah Niazi—son of the legendary Ustad Manzoor Niazi—brings a commanding presence and vocal depth that seamlessly blends classical Indian forms such as Thumri, Khayal, and Tarana with the devotional power of Sufi music. Joined by his sons, including Waqas Niazi, the ensemble has captivated audiences across Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America.
