BBC Radio 3 - BBC Proms, 2017, Classical Music of India and Pakistan

Hindustani music of north India, Carnatic music of the south, and Pakistan's Sufi qawwali.

Prom representing the three great traditions - the Hindustani music of north India, the Carnatic music of the south, and devotional Sufi qawwali from Pakistan.

To mark the 70th anniversary of independence from British rule and the subsequent Partition of India from Pakistan and Bangladesh, this special late-night Prom celebrates the power of music to heal and unify. Curated by the cultural heritage trust Darbar, it brings together virtuoso soloists and world-leading groups representing the three great traditions of classical music from India and Pakistan. 

From late evening into the night, the concert takes us from the Hindustani music of north India to the Carnatic music of the south, and leads to an ecstatic climax with devotional Sufi qawwali from Pakistan.
