Qawal Party (Huddersfield)

Date – Saturday 24 July, 8pm-11pm
Venue: Festival Hub, Piazza, Princess Alexandra Walk, Huddersfield HD1 2RS
Ticket price: £10

A performance of classical Qawalli music and song, in a style dating back to the 13th century and inspired by Sufi traditions.

Featuring a local Qawalli group, who take inspiration from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Qawalli’s most famous performer, and folk music from Pakistan, with vocalists wearing melodies over percussion-based music, including harmoniums, tabla and dholak. An intense and profoundly moving experience.
