Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
What is Sufi? According to the liner-note to The Rough Guide to Sufi Music, it can't be put into words but this fascinating musical compilation is the next best thing. Sufism, often expressed through dervish-dancing, is a religious experience: it's a way of harnessing music to join the soul to God. It's also a way of linking Senegal to Uzbekistan, via Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan: it's a potent social glue which transcends national frontiers. If that's the political importance of this record, the musical importance is no less great. Here is the amazing Sheikh Al-Tuhami, whose hypnotic festival gigs draw devotees from all over Egypt; here is the great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Here is the Iranian-Kurdish lutenist Ostad Elahi, whose modest purity of tone entranced Yehudi Menuhin. And here, in song after song, are echoes of the 14th-century poet Jalal al-Din al-Rumi, whose verses are still this music's verbal bedrock. If this excellent CD grabs you, deepen your knowledge--particularly of Sufism in Iran--with the aid of Network's double-CD Sufi Soul. --Michael Church
Album Description
The mystical power of Sufi music is explored in this entrancing Rough Guide. Although the religiously orthodox tried to keep Islam free of music, the Sufis, Islamic mystics, instead sought to harness its power for the service of God. This collection discovers the diversity of Sufism from across the Islamic world, from the hypnotic whirling dervishes of Turkey, through Iraq, Morocco, Syria and Egypt to Boubacar Diagne in Senegal and then to Pakistan with tracks from internationally acclaimed stars Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sabri Brothers and a female singer (unusual in Sufism) Abida Parween.
