Once Upon a Time with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Shahzaman Ali Khan in Boston: A Night of Soulful Melodies and Musical Legacy
Close your eyes. Let the music take over.
There are concerts. And then there are experiences that touch your soul.
On October 2026, US will witness three such magical evenings—Get ready for three unforgettable nights of soul-stirring Qawwali and Sufi magic, as the legendary Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and his son, Shahzaman Ali Khan, bring their "Once Upon a Time" tour to Boston, New York, and New Jersey this October!
The Maestro and the Legacy
Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan needs no introduction. A name synonymous with soul-stirring melodies, he is one of the most celebrated Qawwali and Sufi singers of our time. From the hauntingly beautiful "Teri Meri" to the devotional "Aafreen," Rahat's voice transcends borders, languages, and generations.
But this concert holds something extra special—Rahat will be joined by his son, Shahzaman Ali Khan, marking a passing of the musical torch. Shahzaman has been grooming under his father's tutelage, carrying forward the rich legacy of the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Together, they promise an evening that's not just about music, but about heritage, love, and pure magic.
A Night of Qawwali, Ghazals, and Sufi Trance
From high-energy Qawwalis that'll make you clap along, to soulful Ghazals that tug at your heartstrings, this concert has something for everyone. It's a celebration of Hindi, Urdu, and multilingual music—with lyrics that speak to the soul and melodies that linger long after the night ends.
