The women reviving a vanishing legacy of Sufi music in Kashmir

In Indian-administered Kashmir, Yemberzal is the primary all-women Sufiyana music group. This music – which had been dying out within the area – was a uniquely male custom.

Individuals have tried to place the group down in some ways, corresponding to telling them that Sufiyana wasn’t meant for girls. One of many group’s fathers was harassed by his neighbours.

A minimum of two of the members, Irfana and Gulshan, need to open a Sufiyana music faculty after they end college.

BBC Monitoring presents a Yemberzal efficiency within the Himalayas and talks to them concerning the constructive impression they’ve had within the area.
