Sain Zahoor

Sain Zahoor and band in concert

Mystic music from Pakistan with Sain Zahoor.  Traditional magical melodies and spiritual and religious verses blend and weave a beautiful insight into the devotional musical traditions.

The University of Bradford is delighted to welcome back the transcendent and genuinely awe-inspiring music of Sain Zahoor and band, following the sell-out success of their concert in the University Atrium in June 2008. Sain Zahoor is a phenomenon. Winner of the 2006 BBC  World Music Voice of the Year Award without ever having released a record, Sain’s music emanates from the Sufi tradition and was honed singing in dargagh (shrines) and mela in his native Ojara district of Pakistan.  Since then Sain has travelled the world offering audiences the opportunity to come; the closest anyone alive will get to being in the presence of the Sufi mystics of yore, like Bulle Shah and Shah Hussain.

.

Where :  University of Bradford Atrium

When : Friday 11 June, 7.30pm.

Price : Tickets £7

Noodreem – “Can I See?”

Enjoy a new track from Noodreem – “Can I See?”.  Open the mystic musicbox and let the waves of Peace lapping at the Shores of the Isle of Avalon bathe you in dream time consciousness and envelope you in gossamer spectral hues.  “Can I See?” is a metamorphological enquiry into Sonic Ontology following the quest for self realisation.  In deepest meditation and with the gentle sway of an Elephant strolling in the evening Sun, we’ll journey on through the night, to the Stars.
