BROOKLYN QAWWALI PARTY
After an absence of seven years (really, 7?) we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome BQP back to Barbès - where they played some of the most memorable shows of our twenty years existence.
Brooklyn Qawwali Party, led by drummer Brook Martinez, pays tribute to one of the world’s great vocalists, the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, reworking his thunderous songs for an eclectic, ten-piece orchestra comprised of groundbreaking jazz musicians. Funky, smart, and loving, BQP captures the joyful spirit of this Pakistani folk music in a unique instrumental blend of jazz and Qawwali. With five horns, guitar, bass, harmonium, and three percussionists, this band's buoyant rhythm will be sure to get you on your feet and clapping.
Featuring:
Kenny Warren - trumpet
