Fattah Ali Turab Ali Qawwal

Fattah Ali Turab Ali Qawwal are descendants of the revered Delhi Qawwal Bachchon Ka Gharana, a qawwali lineage with roots stretching back centuries to Mian Sa’amat Bin Ibrahim, a disciple of Hazrat Amir Khusro.

They are the grandsons of the celebrated Ustad Munshi Raziuddin Ahmed Qawwal, recipient of Pakistan's prestigious Pride of Performance award, and the sons of Ustad Ali Akbar Razi. Raised within this rich musical tradition, Fattah Ali and Turab Ali learned qawwali under their father's mentorship and performed extensively with him internationally.

In 2020, the brothers established their own ensemble, continuing their family's musical legacy while bringing the devotional poetry, classical musicianship, and powerful communal spirit of qawwali to audiences around the world.

Come experience Sham e Qawwali—an evening of traditional qawwali and devotional music in the historic setting of St. Luke’s in the Fields.
