"To
say music runs deep in the family of Ustad Nizami is a practically comical
understatement. The Sufi poet and spiritual mystic arrived in Austin on a
Fulbright Scholarship in 2008 and settled in the area after a stint teaching
music at the University of Texas. Peace of Soul is a deeply spiritual and
hypnotic mix of original compositions and traditional Sufi music dating back
hundreds of years. It's easy to get lost in Nizami's swirling chants and the
mesmerizing sounds he masterfully charms from the sitar and tabla."    - Austin Chronicle, 2012
