The Ladies Literary Club of Grand Rapids hosted a Sufi music concert Saturday, Sept. 22 downtown as part of the 2012 Year of Interfaith Understanding. The concert featured Shabnam Merali.
Ghazala Munir, a Muslim representative of Interfaith, was a key player in bringing Merali into the community.
The ensemble that accompanied Merali was composed of musicians from around the world, including Pakistan, Canada, and America. Along with the stage of performers, the audience was equally diverse. People from several different religions sat alongside each other and participated in the Sufi music.
“I try to sing different religious numbers and in different languages so everyone can be together,” said Merali after the event.
