Zikr – A Sufi Samaa by the Murshidabadi Project

Zikr—A Sufi Samaa by the Murshidabadi Project is a Sufi music concert in Mumbai that brings together Sufi poetry, devotional compositions, and cross-cultural instrumentation. The performance presents the spiritual and musical traditions of Sufi samaa, where poetry and melody are used as a form of reflection and devotion.

The Murshidabadi Project features Tathagata performing on esraj, tar-shehnai, sarinda, and dilruba, alongside Martin Dubois on the kora (a West African harp-lute) and Naynesh Pimpale. The combination of Indian bowed instruments and the African kora creates a distinctive soundscape linking Hindustani and global musical traditions.

Presented at Ravindra Natya Mandir, Prabhadevi, this concert is relevant for audiences searching for Sufi concerts in Mumbai, Indian classical and devotional music events, live Sufi samaa performances, and cross-cultural classical music collaborations in India. The program focuses on lyrical interpretation, improvisation, and the meditative aspects of Sufi music in a contemporary concert setting.
