Every musical tradition has its guiding stars. For the Warsi family, one such luminary is Hzt Amir Khusro, whose spiritual and musical influence is evident in their performances.
Often termed as the ‘Parrot of India’, Hzt Amir Khusro’s contributions to the Indian music scene are unparalleled. His fusion of Persian and Indian classical music laid the foundation for styles like Qawwali.
The Warsi Brothers, Amjad and Asad, see themselves as disciples of this great maestro. Their renditions often pay homage to Khusro, be it in the form of traditional qawwalis or innovative compositions.
