Nizami Sitar

Nizami Qawwali, Austin, TX · Live Qawwali & Sitar · Wedding Entertainment

Some performances are entertainment. A Nizami Qawwali performance is a spiritual experience.

Based in Austin, Texas, Nizami Qawwali is a premier traditional Sufi ensemble led by Ustad Ghulam Farid Nizami — a 17th-generation master musician originally from Pakistan and one of the most distinguished classical artists in the country. Rooted in the esteemed Seniya Gharana, one of the oldest and most respected classical music traditions in South Asia, the ensemble brings centuries of musical heritage, authentic spiritual poetry, and soul-stirring artistry to every performance.

For South Asian weddings, Nizami Qawwali offers an unparalleled live music experience that transforms any celebration into a truly unforgettable mehfil. Whether it's an intimate mehndi evening, a grand wedding reception, or a dedicated qawwali night for family and guests, the ensemble creates an atmosphere of devotion, joy, and cultural richness that no playlist can replicate.

In addition to live Qawwali, the ensemble also offers classical Sitar performances — or the two can be combined into one extraordinary evening of music at a special bundled rate.
