Sami Yusuf Live in Qatar

On the 17th January at 7.00 pm Sami Yusuf will be in perform in a live concert with other prominent artists and comedians at the Qatar National Theatre.

Sami Yusuf is being hailed by the international media as the modern voice of Islam in Europe. Sami Yusuf was born in the month of July 1980. He is originally from Persia, the part that most people would call “Azerbaijan”. He was born into a musical family of Azeri origin. Azeri people are very spiritual with a deep appreciation of art and beauty. He studied music at several institutions and with renowned composers and musicians including composers from the Royal Academy of Music in London, one of the world most prestigious music institutions. Sámi has been composing from a very young age and his beautiful voice is supplemented by his extensive knowledge of notes and harmonies. He has also a good understanding of music theory and the Middle Eastern modes (or Maqams). Al-Mu'allim was the song track that led him to the wall of fame. Sami is a devout practicing British Muslim who sees songs as a means of promoting the message of Islam and encouraging the youth to be proud of their religion and identity.
