UFPA Arts Engagement Event with KHUMARIYAAN

With its propulsive, furious sound, Khumariyaan, “The Intoxicators,” has reawakened the live music scene in Peshawar, the ancient crossroads through the Khyber Pass that links Pakistan and Afghanistan. The lute-like Pashto rubab is the meeting point for this transfixing, hyper-folk quintet that intertwines the djembe-like zerbaghali (clay or wooden goblet drum), sehtar (long-necked lute), and searching vocals underpinned with driving acoustic guitars. Khumariyaan’s rolling pulse and richly layered sound builds to  renzied intensity. It’s an addictive and accessible pleasure that has ushered in a new era for an eclipsed music.

PLEASE RSVP by July 18th to
