Presenting Orooj (عرؤج), the fourth release from Ilahi Sufi Qawwali, the world’s first female qawwali ensemble. Orooj—meaning “soaring”—captures their passionate improvisations as they rise to meet the Beloved, embodying the essence of devotion through qawwali.
This inspired album features live renditions of Chaap Tilak and Mera Piya Ghar Aaya, recorded at the Samā School of Music in Bali. Blending the mystical roots of qawwali with classical raags such as Rageshri and Charukeshi, Ilahi brings a fresh perspective to this sacred tradition.
Founded in 2019 by Tahir Qawwal and Alexandra Amïe, Ilahi continues to expand the reach of Sufi music with reverence and innovation. Through Orooj, their voices soar, inviting listeners into the transcendent beauty of qawwali.
Now streaming on all major platforms.
