Surrendering to Qawwali with Zain Zohaib

It’s not every day you hear qawwalis in Melbourne’s Fed Square. The centuries-old form of Sufi devotional music has long offered healing through rhythm, repetition and poetry. In Pakistan, the tradition has flourished, finding new life across generations. At Blockbuster, that sound arrives in the heart of the city. Zohaib Ali, one half of the duo Zain Zohaib, joins Dilpreet Kaur Taggar to reflect on carrying forward a sacred lineage and how it feels to bring it to Australian audiences for the very first time. Listen now, only on SBS Spice.
