Meet the Team
Salim Sabri a leading internationally known Sufi Singer . Salim is the student of the highly acclaimed and world famous Late Haji Maqbool Ahmed Sabri (Sabri brothers). He started his singing career at the age of 12. Coming from a musical/Sufi background, the art of Qawwali was inherited by Salim from his maternal uncle who is an established Qawwali singer in India.
Whilst on his first visit to India in 1977, he experienced his first live Qawwali concert in which his uncle was performing. Instantly Salim was drawn to this spiritual music and decided to take this passion further. On his return to the UK he was fortunate to learn that the legendary Sabri Brothers were on tour and grasped the opportunity to become the Shaghirdh (Student), of Haji Maqbool Ahmed Sabri one of the Brothers. This enabled him to further his knowledge over the next few years in the art of Qawwali from the undisputed masters of the art form.
Salim has also been fortunate to have met great artists such as Ustaadh Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Panditravishanker, Late Ustaadh Mehdi Hassan Khan etc, which also enabled him to further his knowledge. Salim is also Shaghird of Ustaadh Johar Ali Khan (Patiala Gharana) The Great Violin Maestro and Ustad Ajmal Ali Khan.
Wasim, nephew of Salim Sabri has been singing from an early age of 10. As Qawali was already a big part of the family through Salim Sabri, Wasim was introduced to the art from an early age. Wasim became Salim’s Shaghird (student) and officially started to learn from his uncle from a young age. Wasim possesses a naturally gifted melodious and powerful voice which beautifully combines and compliments Salim in a beautiful way. Well versed in Sargam and Alaap, Wasim is a natural talent who never fails to impress and move audiences and receives huge praise for his majestic soothing voice. Wasim is also a fantastic Naat and Nasheed artist. A true star of the future.
