Fanna-Fi-Allah

Since in 1997 Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the king of the qawwali exchanged the temporary for the eternal in 1997, the Islamic Sufi music tradition slowly but surely disappeared from the world stage. Fanna-Fi-Allah, an American band around Nova Scotia-born harmonium player and vocalist Tahir Hussain Faridi has been trying to change this for some time now, and with 'Muraqaba' for the first time releases an album that's also distributed in Europe.
