Falsa is a NYC-based Sufi music ensemble weaving 14th-century devotional traditions with contemporary improvisation. Rooted in the Qawwali lineage and global South Asian diasporic experience, Falsa creates soundscapes that explore longing, surrender, joy, and deep presence.
Led collectively by musicians blending Sufi Qawwali vocals, Carnatic violin, Hindustani tabla, Bass VI, Harmonium, and Drums, Falsa offers a transformative experience—bridging sacred traditions and transcultural jazz. The ensemble’s performances blend minimalist reflection with rhythmic intensity, creating immersive spaces where audiences feel more than they think.
Falsa invites listeners to engage with sacred sound as a form of reflection, healing, and communal resonance.
Join us the following evening when Umer will be joined by violinist and meditation guide Carson Marshall for a Sufi-Buddhist Fusion Soundbath.
