The world of Indian classical music has been blessed with several maestros, but few families can claim a lineage as rich and enduring as the Warsi Brothers. The story begins in the regal chambers of Mughal courts and continues on global stages.
The Warsi family’s roots trace back to the era of Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, where their ancestors, like Tanras Khan Sahab, were celebrated royal singers. These early stalwarts not only entertained royalty but also composed intricate musical pieces that continue to inspire artists today.
Fast forward to the modern-day, Amjad and Asad Warsi are ensuring that this musical heritage not only survives but thrives. They’ve taken the traditional qawwali, khayal, and other forms, and introduced them to global audiences.
It’s not just the music but also the history, culture, and stories behind every composition that make their performances enchanting.
