There may have been more popular and skilled singers but no one came close to being as influential as Saieen Zahoor in the world of folk music. Born in Okara, Zahoor was supposedly the youngest child in a rural peasant family. Singing from an early age of five, he left his home when he was only ten in search of the divine and spent most of his time going from one shrine to another of Sindh, Punjab, making a living through singing. Zahoor claims that as he was walking past a small shrine in the south Punjab town of Uch Sharif (known for its Sufi traditions), when "someone waved at me with his hand, inviting me in, and I suddenly realised that it was this hand which I saw in my dream.
For some time, he studied music under Raunka Ali of Patiala Gharana, whom he met at Bulleh Shah's dargah (shrine), and who became his first teacher for Sufi verses. He also studied music with other Uch Sharif-based musicians.
It was in 2006 that he emerged as BBC’s “Best Voice of the Year”, that his career gained another level of recognition, and has since released records, contributed to film soundtracks, and toured internationally.
Known for his memory of remembering Sufi renditions by iconic poets such as Bulleh Shah, he can create magic with his unadulterated vocals combined with his signature instrument, Ektara.
Bangladesh’s folk music boasts a rich heritage and bonding with the roots of the culture that is still practically unheard of by the global audience. Dhaka International Folk Fest is here to provide the international platform where the entire planet can enjoy the culture’s true form embodied in its folk music along with the different folk musicians all over the world.
