Title
Founder & Headmaster
Bio
Twenty years of teaching Hindustani Classical Music & Qawwali worldwide. Over 2500 concerts played in 50+ countries. Film-maker, father & misguided mystic.
Originally from a small town in Nova Scotia, Canada, Tahir Qawwal has been journeying into music and mysticism from a very young age. At fifteen, he left his home for the Himalayas to spend the rest of his teens living as a lonely dervish, practicing the yogic path and searching for enlightenment through the purity of sound and pitch.
Upon returning to civilization, he immersed himself in the sacred Sufi teachings of the past millennium and began his rigorous formal training in vocals and harmonium within Indian Classical music and Qawwali.
Today he resides in Bali, teaching the world's first all-female Sufi Qawwali ensemble Ilahi, on a mission to empower the female voice, and runs Samā School of Music with his Beloved, Alexandra Amie
