Concert by the Qawwali group Fanna fi Allah.

WUK, Währingerstraße 59, 1090 Wien 

 Now in their 26th year of international touring, Fanna-Fi-Allah is one of the foremost traditional Qawwali ensembles in the world today. With thousands of performances across 50+ countries, they carry the living spirit of Sufi shrine music to global audiences, offering a rare and powerful immersion into this devotional art form.

Led by Tahir Qawwal and supported by a masterful ensemble of tabla, harmonium, and choral vocals, the group remains rooted in the classical Qawwali tradition, without fusion, electronics, or pop crossover.

Each performance is a vibrant expression of spiritual passion, featuring the poetry of Sufi saints such as Amir Khusrau and Baba Farid, delivered through powerful rhythms of clapping, soaring chorus lines, and deep, trance-inducing cycles. The atmosphere often includes whirling Sufi dancing and a communal, ecstatic energy that transcends language or belief. Though born in the Sufi Islamic tradition, this music invites all people, regardless of background, into a shared space of unity and divine love.

For those new to Qawwali, this is a beautiful opportunity to witness the tradition as it has been carried for centuries. For longtime listeners, it’s a continuation of Fanna-Fi-Allah’s dedication to preserving and sharing this sacred music with reverence and vigor.
