Through the beauty of the music they embody a universal message of devotion and tolerance that is crucial to our time. The group's founding members have spent over 20 years learning this classical art, which celebrates the great Sufi mystics of old and relishes in the love of the Divine through poetry. Sung with a powerful soaring chorus and accompanied by the energetic rhythms of tabla and group clapping, the Beloved is celebrated with ecstatic devotion. Fanna-Fi-Allah have been blessed to play qawwali in its traditional setting at the honoured tombs of sufi saints in Pakistan and India, where qawwali originates. These include the sacred shrines of: Data Ganj Baksh (Lahore), Baba Ganj-e-Shakar (Pak Pattan), Baba Bulleh Shah (Kasoor), Baba Lasuri Shah (Faislabad) and in India at the tombs of Khwaja Nizzam-Ud-Deen Aulia, Amir Khusrau, Pir Inayat Khan (Delhi), & Khwaja Mueen-Ud-Deen Chishty (Ajmer). During their 19 years of world-wide touring, they have offered audiences a unique glimpse into this rich and vibrant culture; playing at many international festivals and concerts in major cities. They have enthralled audiences in the USA, Canada, Pakistan, Europe, Indonesia, India, Egypt, Russia & China with their dynamic skill and passionate musical precision. Having published ten albums published, Fanna-Fi-Allah now offer us an even deeper glimpse into this Sufi world of Pakistan with the production of their new documentary: Music of the Mystics. Charles Eisenstein Bio: Charles is a story teller, author, philosopher and public speaker on a wide variety of topics, centering around a more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible. He has written the books Sacred Economics, Ascent of Humanity, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Knows is Possible and Climate a New Story. He is a key note speaker at many large spiritual gatherings around the world. Speaking for myself as the founder of Ecstatic Dance SLC, Charles has been the single most influential thinker I have had the privilege of learning from.
