Experience the soul-stirring power of Qawwali with Chahat Mahmood Ali, a rising star from a celebrated musical lineage, trained by Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. As part of Spirit of Pakistan Week, this open-air concert invites you to witness an authentic and electrifying performance at the Outdoor Theatre in the MAC.
 
At just 21, Chahat’s mastery of traditional Sufi poetry and his dynamic ensemble—featuring harmoniums, percussion, and chorus—builds from meditative melodies to ecstatic crescendos.
 
Expect beloved classics like “Dum Mast Qalandar” and “Tumhe Dillagi” in a truly immersive experience. Having graced stages at the Southbank Centre and Bristol Beacon, Chahat now brings his heartfelt tribute to Qawwali legends like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to you.
 
Join us for a vibrant, communal evening perfect for both new audiences and long-time Sufi music fans!
