Rais Anis Sabri

Twelve-year-old Rais Anis Sabri from Jalalabad, Uttar Pradesh, India is one of the youngest performing Sufiana Qawwals. He is the son and disciple of Rais Sabri who in turn trained with the renowned Qawwal, Aslam Sabri.

Rais Anis Sabri started learning the intricacies of Sufi Qawwali from the age of four and gave his first performance at seven.

He sings mainly in the "Chisti Rang", of the Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti of Ajmer, India. Celebrating the tradition of Hazrat Nizamuddin, the famous Sufi saint of the Chisti Order and Amir Khusro, the renowed 13th century Sufi poet, Rais Anis Sabri has enthralled and captivated audiences with his "Ruhaniyat" or soulfulness.
