OMNICIRCUS productions presents-
in CONCERT-
The ALI KHAN Band
Sukhawat Ali Khan and Riffat Salamat are children of the legendary
Classical Indian vocalist Ustad Salamat Ali Khan. Their family represents a
five hundred year lineage of musicians who originally performed at the
court of Akbar the Great.
Sukhawat and Riffat now lead a group of international musicians and their
band ALI KHAN wows audiences with their exotic blend of traditional Sufi
Qawwalli, Ghazal, and folk songs. Audiences all over California are
listening, dancing and trancing to
this world fusion groove oriented sound.
"ALI KHAN...is a rare, unique and thoroughly delightful experience what
used to be called 'World Music' but now perhaps
should be described as 21st century music. The great hearted spirit of
this trans-national combo and the thrilling and literally
entrancing voices of Sukhawat and Riffat Ali Khan combine to create an
immediately accessible and ecstatic musical experience
that arrives just in time to fill the aching void left in so many hearts by
the recent loss of qawwali master and global treasure
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Thank Allah!" - Paul Williams, Crawdaddy
magazine, 9/97
