Sain Zahoor is a Sufi street musician and wandering minstrel from Pakistan with a voice that soars and entrances, taking you beyond entertainment and daily cares. Self-taught and illiterate, the 70-year-old Zahoor embodies the cultural wealth and soul of Pakistan’s popular street culture.
A winner of a prestigious BBC World Music Award, Zahoor has taken his simple but uncompromisingly powerful message of spiritual love and tolerance all over the world.
"The closest anyone alive will get to being in the presence of the Sufi mystics of yore” BBC World Music Awards
“It is impossible not to feel overwhelmed by the passion by which Zahoor delivers the sacred verses” Songlines
“Remarkable” The Guardian
