Mystic Voices Tradition: In Praise of Khusrau, Qawwal Warsi Brothers

About this event

The Warsi Brothers’ contribution places a spotlight on India’s long-standing role as a centre of classical and devotional arts. Their powerful performances, rich vocals, and mastery of classical compositions have made them central figures in the preservation of this art form. Their qawwali performances reflect a tradition rooted in the teachings of Sufism, where music is a form of devotion and spiritual expression. 

As India’s renowned artists, the Warsi Brothers - Naseer Ahmed Khan Warsi and Nazeer Ahmed Khan Warsi - were honoured at the prestigious Aga Khan Music Awards 2025 which was held in London in November 2025 at the South Bank Centre.

In its citation, the jury recognised the duo “for the energetic preservation and onward transmission of the spiritual and musical legacy of Amir Khusrau to multigenerational audiences at the highest level of musical excellence.”
