Sufi x Flamenco (JuGalbandi) Naza Saab (Mujtaba Aziz Naza) & Kunal Om | Kala Ghoda Festival 2026

Sufi × Flamenco — a transcendent fusion brought to life by two masterful artists: Naza Saab (Mujtaba Aziz Naza), the celebrated voice of devotional ecstasy, and Kunal Om, India’s foremost flamenco dancer and visionary choreographer. Naza Saab’s rich, soul-stirring vocals rise like a qawwali call to the Divine — raw, devotional, and deeply moving — carrying the timeless poetry of love, surrender, and spiritual longing. His voice, steeped in the legacy of his legendary lineage, weaves through the air like incense smoke, inviting the heart to dissolve into the Beloved. In hypnotic dialogue, Kunal Om answers with the fierce grace of flamenco. His feet strike the earth with thunderous duende — that ineffable spirit of raw emotion — while his body flows like liquid fire, hands carving stories of longing in the twilight. The sharp zapateado rhythms echo the heartbeat of the universe, merging seamlessly with the swirling dervish energy of Sufi expression. Together, they create a rare magic: the mystical yearning of Sufism and the untamed passion of flamenco entwine in perfect harmony. Clapping palms (palmas), soulful guitar strains, and percussive brilliance build layers of intensity until the performance becomes a shared spiritual dance — a celebration where East and West, devotion and desire, spirit and body become one. Under the open skies of Asia’s largest multidisciplinary street arts festival, this unforgettable evening at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2026 (31 January – 8 February) promises to transport audiences into a realm where music transcends borders and cultures dissolve into pure feeling. A night of divine fire. A union of two ancient souls speaking the same language of the heart. Naza Saab & Kunal Om Sufi × Flamenco Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2026 Mumbai — where heritage dances with the future.
