Fanna-Fi-Allah return to the amazing & iconic venue of the the Great American in San Francisco after an exciting your of the UK, Paris and Morocco. FFA's expression of Qawwali music has become an authentic representation and continuation of the ancient tradition of Sufi music from India and Pakistan.
Qawwali is sung with a powerful and soaring melodious chorus and accompanied by entrancing energetic rhythms of tabla and group clapping, and in this way the Beloved is celebrated with ecstatic devotion.
Fanna-Fi-Allah's founding members have spent over 20 years learning this classical art-form. During their 15 years of world-wide touring they have played at many major international festivals. They have enthralled audiences in the USA, Pakistan, Europe, Indonesia, India, Egypt, and others, with their dynamic skill, and passionate musical precision. With ten albums already published, Fanna-Fi-Allah have now given us an even greater glimpse into this Sufi world of Pakistan with the production of their new documentary: Music of the Mystics.
Fanna-Fi-Allah continues to carry on an ancient wisdom in their music, a wisdom that is not only heard, but is profoundly felt. A universal message of devotion and tolerance that ignites hearts and quenches their deeper longings. A message that is so crucial for our time.
