| Festival Description | The touring festival is based on the Sufi message of peace and unity, and the fact that in today’s world of increasing division and disparity, the Sufi music should be heard throughout the world. Sufi has the unique ability to cross all barriers that humans place upon themselves—making it an instrument of spiritual unity. Rafi Peer Theatre Workshop (RPTW) in collaboration with Telenor Pakistan launches the annual music festival in Lahore, Multan, Islamabad and Karachi with the intention to include smaller cities with an opportunity to watch devotional practices. Five devotional performances by foreign and local artists will take place. |
