Sufi Singer

My Story

Sarah is a Manchester based singer/musician. She sings spiritually inspiring ‘Nasheeds’ of love, faith and peace. Accompanied by a guitar or djembe, Sarah’s raw ‘Cantata’ style takes the audience into her world of emotions and feelings.
She was trained by her father from an early age and, with this tool has performed nationally, in front of thousands of people.

My values

She has a zeal for Qwaali and Ghazals and, after her father Sufi Muhammed Yaseen, takes inspiration from the likes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Ustad Mehdi Hassan and Abida Parveen, to name a few.
Within the genre of World Music, Sarah’s interest to different cultures has allowed her portfolio to adapt by singing songs in varied native languages.

We have the beautiful Scottish gaelic singer @kaitlin.ross in the North of England @yellowarchstudios with us, rehearsing and weaving gaelic into our rendition of an ancient kashmiri lullaby, 'hukus bukus' or 'tchekus bekus' ....meaning who are you and who am I?
Will be performing at The Crucible Theatre tonight at 7pm.

I knew I talked a lot but seriously....I must have lost calories networking with festival reps, organisations and musicians at the Womex 2018 Expo.
Great food, great coffee, great resort/Island, great people and great music, especially watching the showcase and meeting one of my fav bands, @theturbans.
Our band #rafikijazz got plugged in for 3 whole days. Now, it's follow up time to get the band to play at International festivals!! #womex2018 #grancanary #laspalmas #rafikijazzupclose

Yesterday in Manchester at Cathedral Gardens, due to constraints, we ran out of time for a full soundcheck and couldn't frikkin hear each other in the monitors. From outside though, feedback was that it was great! (of course; we're professionals!! 😉) Today in Morcambe however....with the gentle breeze across the sea, ( inside the #moremusic venue though), we could hear each other pretty fine. The audience was awesome! It was actually a pretty good gig!
To end it all, we put 3 pennies in a makeshift jukebox just to hear #rafikijazz 😂😄😁 (worth every penny!)
We love ourselves that much!! #rafikijazzupclose

ahhh.....she did it! #hafsaAneelaBashir launched her book #celoxandtheclot at Anthony Burgess Foundation, Manchester. Surrounded by loved ones, it was a successful night and I went home knowing she was happy that I supported her with soundscape and 'live' sound.

When women support each other. Magic happens!

I have been invited to create soundscape and live music to the wonderful Hafsah Aneela Bashir's poetry performance for her book launch, 'The Celox and The Clot'. As you can see from the collection of pics, we've worked together more than once!! If you don't know her already, you should come and see her voice her articulate, powerful prose!

The more you do it, the better you get at it right?

I tell simple stories through simple music, the voice, the beat, rhythm.

You don't have to be highly skilled....just make it your own.

The violinist @nure.dlovani from the Kurdish band, #triomara shattered my heart into a thousand fragments last night. Tears were falling down my face and I'm still trying to figure out why this piece out of all has effected me so much. 😢🌷🌷🌷 #copenhagenworldmusicfestival

Everything is dazzling. No need for a filter!
I like to invite my daughters to festivals to experience what their mother gets upto. 😊
Lots of hard work was paid off and received a standing ovation for the appreciation of music and 'womanhood'. The end. It's over. What am I taking from #thepasserine project?
