Granoff Music Center
20 Talbot Avenue, Medford
The Tufts Music Department invites you to a free concert on November 6 in the Distler Theater. Qawwali is a form of Sufi devotional voice and instrumental performance, originating in South Asia. Each performance is unique as these classically trained vocalists, who are amongst the most exciting contemporary practitioners, interweave verse-chorus sequences that are rich in poetic and spiritual symbolism in Urdu, Farsi, Hindi, Poorvi, Arabic, Punjabi.
