Tabaruq Records International (2025)

There is such an astounding wealth of spiritual music which has existed & still exists to this day in Pakistan. Yet in many ways the culture of Pakistani music hasn't had the opportunity to be appreciated much outside of the country of origin. Since the recent crash of the recorded music industry there has been less & less high quality recordings being published internationally, leaving much of th

e current generation of masterful qawwali artists unheard. Tabaruq Records in partnership with non-profit Tabaruq Arts has published 46 Qawwali artist, equaling to over 50 hours of new recordings available worldwide. We currently manage & publish these Qawwali artists:

To mark 25 years together as Fanna-Fi-Allah, we’ve released a special three-volume box set: The Surrey Studio Sessions.
Recorded in the peaceful English countryside, these albums reflect the deep roots of traditional Qawwali — raw, devotional, and undiluted by overproduction or fusion elements.
In the spirit of our great Ustads, we sought to honour the purity of the tradition as it has been passed down to us.
The recordings feature beloved classic Qawwalis and a stirring addition of clarinet and bansuri by Kansia Pritchard, woven naturally into the soundscape.
A heartfelt tribute to the path we’ve walked, and to the tradition that continues to guide us. Now available on all streaming platforms!

Presenting Orooj (عرؤج), the fourth release from Ilahi Sufi Qawwali, the world’s first female qawwali ensemble. Orooj—meaning “soaring”—captures their passionate improvisations as they rise to meet the Beloved, embodying the essence of devotion through qawwali.

This inspired album features live renditions of Chaap Tilak and Mera Piya Ghar Aaya, recorded at the Samā School of Music in Bali. Blending the mystical roots of qawwali with classical raags such as Rageshri and Charukeshi, Ilahi brings a fresh perspective to this sacred tradition.

Founded in 2019 by Tahir Qawwal and Alexandra Amïe, Ilahi continues to expand the reach of Sufi music with reverence and innovation. Through Orooj, their voices soar, inviting listeners into the transcendent beauty of qawwali.

Now streaming on all major platforms.
