ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Sami Yusuf performs ‘Mast Qalandar’ live at the Dubai EXPO.
Experience the exhilarating sound of Sufi qawwali music in this version of the song popularised by the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and delivered here in a new arrangement by Sami Yusuf and an international ensemble. The lyrics are based on a poem by the Chisti Sufi and musical genius, Amir Khusro, and were later modified by the great Panjabi Sufi poet Bulleh Shah.
