Ashaz Hussain Qawwali

Liverpool's biggest ever Qawwali Night with Ashaz Hussain Qawwali Group.

Ashaz Hussain will be performing alongside his 8-member family group including vocalist, tabla player, two harmonium players, four support singers and clappers keeping alive the 800-year-old tradition of Qawwali in his family. As a generational Qawwal, he sings Qawwalis in a unique style that originates from his Gharana, showcasing his proficiency in Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Farsi, Arabic, Poorvi and more. With a lifelong passion for music, Ashaz has been performing since childhood and has had the privilege of sharing his talent with audiences worldwide.

His family's rich musical heritage is evident in their performances, which have been featured on the BBC and at multiple melas across the UK. His paternal great-grandfathers, Tufail Ahmed and Qurban Hussain, were instrumental in creating the iconic track "Mera Piya Ghar Aaya", which was later rendered by the legendary Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Additionally, his maternal grandfather, Ustad Latafat Hussain Khan, was the Ustad of renowned artists such as the Sabri Brothers, Naushad Ali Khan, Bashir Ahmad, and many more prominent figures in the Indian subcontinent.
