Press Quotes:

‘Rizwan and  Muazzam’s voices climb and swoop as if riding air currents; the harmonium seeks a similar undulating flight path while fingertips flutter like hummingbirds across the tablas’  BBC

‘One of the most exhilarating improvised vocal styles on the planet.’  The Guardian

‘What a truly marvellous, uplifting performance it was! As always St George’s lent its superb acoustics to the presentation of spectacular music. First time I’ve ever been to a concert and hear the mention of a Sufi saint get a big cheer! Also good to see an enthusiastic, mixed audience. I very much hope to see more Asian Arts Agency at St George’s in the future. We will be there.’  St George’s Bristol

‘Truly a mesmerising experience and I love Qawwali programmes but this one was exceptional and extra ordinary, truly worth it and loved it!’  Barbican London
