Music of the Mystics: Sufi Qawwali with Fanna-Fi-Allah

This May, the ensemble Fanna-Fi-Allah brings the sacred tradition of Sufi Qawwali to Berlin for an evening of devotional music rooted in remembrance and love. Much like kirtan, Qawwali is a path of spiritual expression through sound. Voices rise and return in call and response, poetry is repeated like mantra, and rhythm builds gradually, inviting listeners into a shared state of presence and openness.

Accompanied by harmonium, tabla, and hand-clapped cycles, the music unfolds as a collective offering. The repetition of sacred verses and divine names can quiet the mind and awaken the heart, creating an atmosphere that is both meditative and ecstatic. Traditionally performed in Sufi gatherings, Qawwali is not only meant to be heard, but felt as a living practice of connection.

For over twenty years, Fanna-Fi-Allah has dedicated itself to preserving this lineage and sharing it with audiences around the world. Their concerts offer a rare opportunity to experience this devotional art form in its traditional depth, while remaining accessible to anyone drawn to sacred sound, whether through kirtan, mantra, or other spiritual music traditions.
