MUSLIM SHAGGAN (Pakistan) concert

On July 15th, at 7 PM, we invite you to a concert by MUSLIM SHAGGAN, one of the most prominent singers of the younger generation of traditional Pakistani music, at the Kirtimai Culture Centre. He will be joined on stage by tabla player Asher Shehzad.

MUSLIM SHAGGAN's singing style is technically refined yet gentle, and his work is characterized by the fusion of different historical traditions. He is a descendant of Bhai Mardana (1459–1534), who played alongside the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak. This dynasty of Rababi musicians eventually adopted the Gwalior style of Hindustani vocal music, and Muslim was trained by one of the best representatives of this style – his grandfather, Ustad Ghulam Hassan Shaggan, who meticulously prepared him from the age of 7 to continue this centuries-old musical legacy. Today, Muslim regularly performs at all the country's major classical music festivals and concert halls, and also appears on radio and television. In addition to his excellent skills in the 'Khayal' genre, the musician is equally masterful in performing various other forms of South Asian music, including contemporary and folk styles. His musical experiments are based on traditional knowledge but are not constrained by rigid methodologies. At the concert at the Kirtimai Culture Centre, MUSLIM SHAGGAN will perform songs from his 2025 album 'Asar' and other works.
