At the Lahooti Diwali Edition in Mithi, Mai Dhai delivered an extraordinary performance of Haq Qalandar, bringing to life a song with centuries-old roots and deep spiritual significance. Her powerful voice and extraordinary dholak skills carried the audience into a trance, honoring the legacy of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and the spirit of Sufi devotion.
Mai Dhai’s journey to becoming an acclaimed folk artist is equally inspiring. Born to a musician mother from Jodhpur, she learned her craft from her but only took to singing after her daughters were married, challenging the taboo around female musicians in many Muslim families in Pakistan. Her rendition of Haq Qalandar at Lahooti was a celebration of resilience, tradition, and devotion, reminding us of the strength and beauty that endure in Sindhi folk music.
