Sufi Qawwali music has stood through the test of time, a message for the people yet a practice for an individual.

My Story
Mystic life continues to unfold as this story is told. An amazing representation of attaining purpose in my life. A time came when I felt completely unsatisfied with existing. I was finding competition, over riding the fundamental moral values of humanity, my heart became still and unimportant. A dark cloud had descended upon my being and I threw myself into the hands of humanity, staying alive only through peoples kindness and generosity, even though I had nothing to offer in return. This began to restore my faith in humanity and began to bloom the desire inside to give back. My interest grew in devotional music. A beautiful way to bring people together and illuminate something bigger than the self. I decided to learn the mother of all percussive instruments of the Eastern classical music "tabla". My studies took me to places I never could imagine the pulsing driving rhythms of this traditional sound and the amount of devotion it in itself takes just to utter a sound out of the "tabla". I quickly learned that this path required serious technical training. I started to practice 10 hours a day, living in India simplifying my life only to grasp this depth of sophisticated percussive philosophy. I felt if I could play percussion, then there would always be someone to sing or create with. This is my gift to give back.
“Aminah Chishti was the first female Qawwali tabla player even given permission to perform at such places where Qawwali is traditionally only performed by males.”
