Sabri Brothers

Bio

The Sabri Brothers are a renowned Pakistani qawwali group formed in 1956 by Ghulam Farid Sabri and his younger brother Maqbool Ahmed Sabri. They are celebrated for their powerful vocal harmonies and devotional performances that helped popularize qawwali music internationally. Rooted in the Chishti Sufi tradition, the brothers performed at major shrines across South Asia and toured extensively in Europe and North America. Their recordings, such as the classic "Tajdar-e-Haram," remain staples of the genre. The ensemble continued under Maqbool after Ghulam Farid’s death in 1994, preserving the family’s distinctive style until Maqbool’s passing in 2011.
