Sama’a: Festival of Sufi Music from 9th to 11th February at NCPA.
Based on the mystical branch of Islam, Sufism preaches peace, tolerance,
and pluralism. Music is regarded as a way of deepening one’s
relationship with the Creator, and hence longing to dissolve the
physical realm and transcend into the spiritual universe with Sama’a,
the practice of listening to music, chanting, whirling, and finally
culminating in spiritual ecstasy. Sufi music is practised in different
regions of the world through an array of forms.
