Dhruv Sangari (Bilal Chishty) – Past Concerts

Dhruv Sangari, aka Bilal Chishty, is a Sufi qawwal and classical Indian vocalist, composer, teacher, and scholar based in New Delhi, India and Konya, Turkiye. Drawn to Sufism and its music from an early age, Dhruv began visiting the courtyard of the shrine of Saint Nizamuddin Auliya. An eventual meeting with the legendary maestro late Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and his brother the late Ustad Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, led Dhruv to become their disciple as well, and solidified his bond with qawwali and Sufi music.

Chishty's repertoire includes Farsi, Arabic, Punjabi, Urdu, and Hindi verses from the works of famed poets and saints. In addition to stage concerts at major festivals and international collaborations with artists in more than 15 countries, he has recorded for a number of private albums, the Bombay film industry, and most recently, Coke Studio.
