The Ismaili Council for the Southwestern USA invites you to an unforgettable evening with Falsa, a genre-blurring Sufi music collective rooted in the ecstatic poetry of 14th-century mystics like Amir Khusrao—the very foundation of the Qawwali tradition. Carrying this sacred lineage across centuries and cultures, Falsa crafts immersive soundscapes where spiritual longing meets transcultural improvisation.
