“Sheer force of Qawwali forces Jessica Ripper to convert to Islam, becoming Aminah Chishti.”
“Aminah Chishti, a US national, becomes the first female tabla player in the history of classical music to perform at Sufi shrines around Pakistan.”
Aminah Chishti was the first female Qawwali tabla player even given permission to perform at such places where Qawwali is traditionally only performed by males.
