Live Arts Miami’s MUNDO Live Music Series welcomes The Saami Brothers , among the world’s foremost Qawwali practitioners, for an evening of Sufi devotional music at the Miami Beach Bandshell .

Carrying an unbroken musical lineage nearly 800 years old from Karachi, Pakistan, the Saami Brothers are hereditary musicians of the Qawwal Bacha Delhi Gharana , founded by 13th-century mystic and poet Amir Khusrau. Through hypnotic rhythms, soaring vocal improvisation, ecstatic call-and-response, and centuries-old poetry, Qawwali reaches toward wajd – a state of spiritual ecstasy and transcendence.

Performed under the open sky at the Miami Beach Bandshell , the evening invites audiences to listen deeply and experience a musical tradition in which gathering itself becomes part of the performance.

Presented by Live Arts Miami and the Rhythm Foundation.

Supported by the City of Miami Beach, the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners, and the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture.
