“In the heart of the Sufi way there is a legend that tells that listening to music draws a man to heaven while still alive…”
We invite you to a rare musical journey, deep, wild and unforgettable, with over 15 live concerts hosting over 100 musicians from all over the world. Moving between 2 circular stages, the musicians will be surrounded by the audience from all sides. Every 2 hours a different show will begin, one following the other, creating a fluent wave throughout the festival.
In the Festival you’ll enjoy a 48 hours long musical experience, day and night, that will take us through the many colors of the Sufi music with its many languages, rhythms, styles and origins. Starting from the sacred Qawwali singing from Rajasthan, through the Sufi trance from Africa, the Daf and tambourine from the mountains of Persia and Kurdisthan, the melodies of the Ottoman Sultan’s courtyards and all the way to the Dhikr ceremonies and the ancient connection between dance and the musical keys of the middle east.
This Festival is unique for the fact that all the music is live music, played by the artists, with not one electronic bit, nor d.js, all alive with acoustic instruments brought from all over the world.
