What happens when a South Asian Islamic Sufi musical tradition meets a Spanish Flamenco guitarist and renowned Flamenco singer?
The Sufi Music Festival organized by Pakistani Peace Builders (PPB) in Union Square was the closest I’ve gotten to Lahore in three years. And boy, was it a treat. Think Food Street, Salt N’ Pepper, faludas, kulfis, funny but poignant commentaries on rickshaws, Naani force feeding you, freshly picked jaaman, all thrown in one. Then, multiply this by a thousand. And add in some jasmine and rose necklaces and bracelets. And that still doesn’t compare.
