About Amjad Sabri
Amjad Farid Sabri (Shaheed) (December 23, 1976 – June 22, 2016) was a Pakistani qawwali singer. He was a son of Ghulam Farid Sabri. He was part of the Sabri Brothers. Hailing from a long line of legendary qawwals, Amjad Sabri inherited the art and charm Qawwali from his father Ghulam Farid Sabri - a qawwal extraordinaire and maestro himself. A man with international fame, he had a voice rich with the emotion of a faithful devotee. Born on December 23, 1970, he started to learn qawwali at the tender age of nine years from the best teacher under the sun, his own father. A musical prodigy, he joined his father on stage to perform at the age of 12 years and people fell in love with him. That was back in 1988, and since then, he was one of the most acclaimed qawwals in the subcontinent, having performed across the world. He was assassinated on 22 June 2016 in Karachi.
