Eid Mubarak! To celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which signals the end of Ramadan for Muslims around the world, Lachlan Dale, the manager of Worlds Within Worlds record label, has shared a new video session with Mustafa Faizi (vocals and harmonium) – one of the leading Afghan classical vocalists of his generation, now residing in Sydney, Australia. Mustafa is accompanied by Maharshi Raval on tabla. The video was filmed by Michel Gasco, with audio handled by Dave Rodriguez.
Lachlan shared:
“Steeped in the Patiala Gharana tradition of Indian classical music, Mustafa began singing at the age of fourteen under the guidance of his father, himself a devoted student of the legendary Afghan maestro Ustad Mohammad Hussain Sarahang. This lineage shaped Ustad Faizi’s musical path: his vocal style, emotional depth, and technical command all reflect the influence of Ustad Sarahang’s artistry while carrying his own distinct voice.
“Since moving to Sydney in 2022, he has continued to teach, perform, and serve as a cultural ambassador for Afghan and Indian classical music, upholding a lineage that has survived through devotion, study, and the enduring power of the human voice.”
Worlds Within Worlds are a record label specialising in Eastern classical music, with a particular love for the music of Afghanistan, India and Iran.
