Bismil – Sensationalizing Live Sufi Music in India

New Delhi: Shayaris, Sufi music, and Qawwalis have entertained masses for decades across the world. Once, it was liked only by a certain set of audiences, but today, Sufi music is a rage in Indian youth for the poetic yet foot-tapping beats.

Over time, many live artists have been performing Sufi music as part of their sets along with other genres such as pop, retro, or Punjabi. But, dedicated Sufi sets were rare. Bismil, a well-established Delhi-based artist, has beautifully curated an amalgamation of Shayaris, Qawwalis, and Sufi Music to give the audience a retro, classy and enjoyable experience that fulfills the soul. Today, he is a social media rage with the masses grooving to his style of live Sufi music.

During his initial years, he was a passionate artist with a never-ending passion for music. While he did regular gigs, his official journey in commercial music began when he met Vibhor Hasija, CEO & Founder, of Yours Eventfully, and started performing as Bismil. The team worked together for 8 years to drive the band to finesse and perfection. Eventually, Bismil grew show by show and honed his craft as a versatile performer who aces audience interaction and enchants them with his performance. Together, Vibhor Hasija & Bismil thought of the idea of expanding the Sufi music horizon to an altogether different level with Bismil Ki Mehfil. Sufi music was always a part of Bismil’s setup, yet they were not content as they knew that the potential for this genre and his capabilities were higher. Earlier, the Sufi genre had been was not a top youth favorite. Bismil & Vibhor have worked in tandem to make this genre upbeat and trending by revolutionizing the Sufi music scenes in India, one gig at a time.
