It was one evening packed to full house. Ruhaniyat, the Sufi and mystic music festival that took place at Poona Club on Saturday evening left the audience, comprising a heady mix of corporates, tourists and celebrities, in a trance and asking for more of the soulful music by various artistes from across India.

Be it Aisa Hai Maska Mera sung by the Fakirs from Hyderabad, or Har Rang De Vich Vasda, Baba Bulle Shah’s Sufi qalam presented by Kachra Khan of Rajasthan or Iqbal Banda Nawazi’s Sufiana qawwali Tera Karam Duniya Ka Karam, the event was a sure shot success.

While the much-famed Baul songs by Parvathy Baul and Madan Vairagya from West Bengal further captivated the audience, Sufi songs by Punjab’s Nanak and Manak Brothers, the African Siddhi Goma drummers and Delhi’s Nizami brothers— Ghulam Sabi and Ghulam Waris added to the evening’s trance element.
