Sufi Fusion, Sufi Synergies
16 Dec 2010
By Dr. Debra Jan Bibel
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Indian-Arab and Indian-Persian fusion ensembles are not novel. Historically, the music of India had accompanied traders to Arabian and Persian ports, with reciprocal musical influences taken back to Indian communities. This album teams Sufi musicians from South India associated with Nagore, a Sufi shrine, with Western and Arab musicians and instruments. We hear flute, Rhodes guitar, bass, violin, electronic keyboards, frame drums, sitar, tabla, and harmonium. Sonorous chants and harmonies provide a relaxing and joyous spiritual mood. Patrick Sebag was responsible for arrangments of the traditional melodies and lyrics (mainly based on Rumi's poems), sung in Tamal and Arabic dialects. ("Allah Hu, Allah Hu" is a mantra-chant familiar to fans of Pakistani Qawwali singers, such as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan; the one heard here has a different melody and rhythmic pattern.) Recordings were made in India and Israel. High production values and very fine engineering make this a powerful contemporary interpretation of ancient chants. Samâ is the Arabic term for intense, spiritual listening, the way music infuses and captivates the mind leading to bliss. Some English translations of Rumi excerpts are provided in the enclosed booklet; music and words work synergistically and move us, to dance.

A rich and rewarding experience
9 Dec 2010
By Midwest Book Review
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Nagore Sessions is the latest album from Earthsync, which supports the chants of three traditional Sufi dargah singers with Middle Eastern percussion as well as contemporary Western instruments. Nagore Sessions draws upon when Earthsync came to Nagore after the terrible 2004 tsunami, as part of the Laya Project in homage to the many cultures and peoples directly affected by hard times. The Sufi culture of South India brought a welcome infusion to their spiritual and rhythmic understanding. In their travels, they drew inspiration from Nagore holy sites, the philosophies of fellow Sufi singers, and even Southern Indian "Kollywood" pop music (cousin to better-known "Bollywood" tunes). A rich and rewarding experience, Nagore Sessions is highly recommended especially for international music CD shelves. The tracks are "Baghdad Guru" (7:09), "The Saint" (6:43), "Ya Allah (Nagore Sessions Version)" (7:31), "Allahu Allah" (4:19), "Ya Haja" (5:45), "Into Your Eyes" (7:27), and "Mahane Mohabbat" (8:18).
