    Caravanserai-Powerhouse Drumming and Voices of Lahore and Karachi

    The visceral sounds of the tabla signal a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience ancient Sufi music played by masters acclaimed in their own country, but unfamiliar to most Americans. Joyful devotion and improvisatory freedom drive the music of the Qawwalis, torch-bearers for a 700-year old form of Sufi music; the kinetic virtuosity of Tari Khan throbs with passionate volatility.

    Join the Caravanserai - a place where cultures meet.

    Program managed by Arts Midwest, on behalf of the U.S. Regional Arts Organizations with financial support from the Building Bridges Program of the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art
