Pakistan’s Jaubi come to Manchester, plus new single Forgive Me

I’m thrilled to see Jaubi are hitting Manchester in October in association with Dialled In, with Tara Lily in support. Get tickets for that here.

Their second LP, A Sound Heart, takes its name from a verse in the Holy Qu’ran (26:89), where one comes to God with a spiritual or sound heart (Qalb) which is sincere, without doubts and free of materialistic attachments. Importantly it refers to a state where the heart is spiritually healthy and content with only God. A Sound Heart’s basis is goodness, rooted in love.

PRE-ORDER A SOUND HEART ON BANDCAMP – THERE’S A LIMITED ORANGE VERSION TOO

Forgive Me is the second single from the album – it’s based on the pensive Raga Parameshwari and describes two lovers having a conversation with each other after a conflict, aiming to replace ill will with good will and move away from negative feelings and no longer dwelling on the wrongdoing the other person has done.
