Festival of Sufi Arts ft. Hamnavai, Indus Blues, Lyn Rye
Elastic Arts · Avondale
Elastic Arts hosts the inaugural Festival of Sufi Arts, doors at 6 PM with performances 7–10:30 PM. The lineup includes Hamnavai, a Chicago qawwali ensemble singing across the Indian Ocean region in Arabic, Bangla, Hindi-Urdu, Malayalam, Persian, and Rohingya; Indus Blues, a Hindustani classical/blues fusion project by LuFuki and Tazeen; and Lyn Rye, a Chicago bassist and songwriter tied to LGBTQ+ Muslim community organizing.
Conductor’s note
One night, three routes into remembrance: Chicago qawwali, Hindustani-blues fusion, and a bassist who's spent a decade building sanctuary for queer Muslims.
