Ustad Saami | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

The new album is an even more immersive work, comprised of just three deeply hypnotic, extended tracks.

Produced 100% live at the master's rooftop home in Karachi by Grammy Winner Ian Brennan (Tinariven, The Good Ones).


"For open ears the recordings on Pakistan Is For The Peaceful offer immersive ever-spiralling tracks that reach ecstatic heights as they open up endless waves of spiritual harmonies, beyond the drone and into the unknown.”

-- The Quietus


"Ustad Saami’s second outing […] plunges deeper into [his] isolate sonic wisdom… Accompanied by his four sons, the music is a heavy curtain of tanpura and harmonium drone, lit by tabla sparks and inscribed by the calligraphy of Saami’s voice. Transfixing music, painted in colours out of time.”

-- The Wire


“Over three tracks in under an hour, the microtonal performer traces a luminous and defiant path against the historic threat of religious tyranny, delivering a provocative expression of devotional purity.”
