Saqi is second to none when it comes to being able to provide the most diverse portfolio of entertainment at the highest possible standards. Known for their raw high energy performances Saqi have achieved cult status in the music scene across the world. The band consists of 2 lead vocalists and six musicians that have remained virtually unchanged since 1991. Saqi are still touring regularly across the globe and have been exceptionally busy in Europe over the last decade. Saqi have always written and produced their own songs and only recently employed the services of other lyricists.
