Saami Brothers

This article is about the contemporary Pakistani Qawwali and Khayal group. For their father, Ustad Naseeruddin Saami, see Naseeruddin Saami.

The Saami Brothers are a group of Pakistani vocalists and musicians, known for their performances of traditional Sufi Qawwali and Khayal music. They are the sons and disciples of the critically acclaimed maestro Ustad Naseeruddin Saami, and are considered contemporary custodians of the centuries-old Qawwal Bachchon ka Gharana (musical lineage).

The ensemble's performances are noted for preserving the authentic, traditional style of their 13th-century lineage, which includes the mastery of complex microtonal vocal scales, particularly the rare 49-note scale that their father is the last known living practitioner of.
