Hotsteppers of the week

 
 
The Peerzada family

The success and the idea behind the International Mystic Music Sufi Festival is a commendable one, which is why Instep has chosen the Peerzada family as this week's Hotsteppers.

Over the last seven years, the festival has changed the landscape of Pakistani performing arts. Creating such a huge platform for local artistic talent to hone their skills and share their work with others was a job well done by the Peerzada family who took it upon themselves to promote and project local talent and to integrate them into a wider spectrum by bringing together with a vast group of artists from around the globe.
This year, in collaboration with Telenor Pakistan, the Rafi Peer Theatre Workshop brought the festival to Multan, the city of saints and shrines and also toured with extensions of the show to Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore which started from April 22 and Ended on Aprill 30.

This year saw fabulous performers from Algeria, Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Iran, India, Syria, Afghanistan coming together with sufi and classical singers from Pakistan to create fantastical nights of mystic music.
The festival is a place where we have aesthetically and spiritually enriched ourselves over the past few years and has helped enormously in putting Pakistan on the map. Hats off to Faizaan Peerzada, Saadaan Peerzada, Usman Peerzada, Imraan Peerzada, Salmaan Peerzada, Tasneem Peerzada and Alena Peerzada for taking on this feat and executing it so marvelously.
