Solidarity Concert -  Mai Nimani Group 

14 December 2024

The very charismatic Mai Nimani is a fabulous folk artist from Sindh, who hails from the traditional Bhaatt tribe of musicians. The Bhaatts, belonging to the Hindu community of Pakistan today, used to be the court musicians and bards during the Rajput era of Northwest India. Mai Nimani’s husky voice has both soul and melody and her repertoire consists of devotional Sufi kalams, Bhakti bhajans, as well as folk songs in Sindhi, Marwari, Saraiki, Punjabi and Urdu/Hindi languages, which she regularly performs at various festivals and shrines in Sindh. Since the passing of her late husband and teacher, Mai Nimani is now accompanied by her brother-in-law on harmonium and her sons on dholak and percussion.

It is also important to mention that the hereditary tribe of Bhaatt musicians from Sindh are now endangered due to loss of livelihood, and successive climate disasters, with Mai Nimani's family also losing their houses in the recent floods. Therefore, we would also like to encourage our guests to participate in the donation that will contribute towards rebuilding their homes.

Start time: 3:30pm 

Doors open: 3:00pm
