The Brothers and their Lineage

There were four Sabri brothers. The eldest brother was Ghulam Farid Sabri. A man of immense spirituality, he was considered to be a saint.

Next was Kamal Sabri who was a master of the vocal techniques of tan tarana.

Finally, there is Maqbool Ahmed Sabri and Mehmood Ghaznavi Sabri. Maqbool's light and melodious voice was able to immerse the listeners into haal, while performing.
