Mandala South Asian Performing Arts Presents Qawwali And Gospel: Singing Together

In collaboration with Mandala South Asian Performing Arts, musician Sonny with Riyaaz Qawwali builds bridges between ethnic and faith-based communities with Qawwali and Gospel: Singing Together is a live performance that has resulted from a workshop series combining Gospel music with Qawwali, a devotional musical tradition rooted in Sufi Islam. Drawing on the complex history of cultural exchange between South Asian and Black communities, Sonny Riyaz has collaborated with South Asian community members in the Devon neighborhood on Chicago’s North Side and Black Gospel groups based on Chicago’s South Side to create new music that highlights parallels between the two genres while celebrating their distinct historic roots, bridging communities and cultures.
