The renowned Pakistani folk and Sufi singer makes her MIF debut.
Sanam Marvi’s a titan of Sufi music, revered throughout Pakistan and beyond. Singing in Urdu, Sindhi, Punjabi and Saraiki, she offers a uniquely beautiful interpretation of Sufi poetry supported by an unbelievable vocal range.
Trained by her father, as well as classical music legends Abida Parveen and Ustaad Fateh Ali Khan, Sanam spent her childhood singing at festivals and shrines across Pakistan. In 2009, a breakout performance on national television turned her into an overnight sensation.
She’s since toured the globe, uniting millions of fans across cultural borders and generations in their love of Sufi music. A regular on Pakistan’s famed Coke Studio show, Sanam knows no bounds. Her music has reached Bollywood and earned her recognition from UNESCO and Pakistan’s highest civilian award.
Join us for Sanam’s first MIF performance, where she’ll be celebrating the rich culture and sound of Pakistan.
