The Space for Music: FALSA – An Evening of Mystical Sufi Sound
Join us at The Space on Saturday, June 21st for an immersive night of sacred sound and shared presence with FALSA, a transcendent Sufi ensemble channeling centuries-old devotional music through contemporary improvisation.
FALSA’s sound is born of the Qawwali tradition—music rooted in longing, surrender, and the ecstatic path of love. Blending Sufi vocals, Carnatic violin, Hindustani tabla, harmonium, and jazz-inspired rhythms, their performances create more than music—they create a space. A space to listen, to feel, to reconnect with the parts of ourselves we may have forgotten.
This isn’t just a concert. It’s a journey.
In resonance with The Space’s mission—to make room for creative unfolding and deep witnessing—this evening invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and be fully here. Whether you come to reflect, release, or simply receive, this is an offering for your whole self.
