Abida Parveen is feted as heir to the crown of the late Qawwali legend Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. For over a decade her golden voice has swept audiences into trance with scintillating renderings of devotional ecstatic Sufi mystic poetry. She is the only female exponent of devotional music and the only woman allowed to sing at the shrines of the Sufi saints. Singing mainly in Urdu, Sindhi, Hindi, Punjabi and Saraiki, her beautiful, uplifting music transcends all linguistic boundaries and she performs all over the world to people of all creeds.
"Sufism and music are inseparable and their message of love and peace is universal"
"Owner of one of the most remarkable voices on the planet"
