The group is led by Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s nephews, Rizwan and Muazzam, who have been performing together as Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwals since the 1990s. The internationally-acclaimed group will showcase their new album, At the Feet of the Beloved, (released in March on Real World Records) as well as playing the UK premiere of performances from Chain of Light, the lost Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan album which was first released last year; discovered 34 years after it was recorded.

“Harmonium drones, a steady pulse of handclaps rising and falling in intensity, tablas poised for firecracker explosions and voices raining down devotions both divine and secular.”
