About RAAHI

RAAHI & Co was birthed from the idea of bridging the generational gap between our elders and youth through music. Our mission involves reclaiming the sound of qawwali, folk and semi-classical music in the West, in a way that authentically links us to our roots. As members of the South Asian diaspora, we share a deep yearning to reestablish a connection with our heritage. "RAAHI", translating to traveller, extends an invitation for you to embark on a cultural journey with us, as we travel through sound.
