What does it mean to return - spiritually, culturally, humanly? Falsa's stirring Sufi music guides us into this question, while iCare Fund America's work answers it in action, creating impact for millions in Pakistan. Hosted at DC's legendary Busboys and Poets, this evening invites you into a rare fusion of art and activism - where sound becomes service, and presence becomes purpose. 
 

As featured on NPR, Falsa is a genre-blurring Sufi music collective rooted in the ecstatic poetry of 14th-century mystics like Amir Khusrao, whose verses form the foundation of the Qawwali tradition. From this sacred lineage carried across centuries and borders, Falsa creates immersive soundscapes where spiritual longing meets transcultural improvisation.  Based in New York City, the ensemble weaves Sufi vocals, Carnatic violin, tabla, harmonium, Bass VI, and drums into a deeply felt musical journey. Each performance becomes a shared ritual blending rhythm, surrender, and presence in spaces where sound becomes sanctuary. More about Falsa: https://www.instagram.com/falsamusic
