Music has always been appreciated by mystics from all religions. Also the
representatives of Sufism, the Islamic mystics, see music as a way for gnosis.
The characteristic of sufism is among other things the consolidation with music,
poetry and dance. This connection is unique in the islamic world; music and
dance are a basic component of the life of the dancing dervishes. Music and
dance help to find a balanced psychological harmony, approach to one’s own body
and -completely crucial- to converge to god. „Sufi’s Secret“, the double
compilation album by Gülbahar Kültür, the renowned Global Beat DJane, is a
masterpiece to dive into the spiritual secrets of the dervishes covering
doxology in classic music forms like “Ilahi” (from turkey), or “Qawwali” (from
Pakistan), as well as modern versions that contain influences of music forms
like pop, rock, trance, techno, jazz and dub… The crossover-versions have built
a bridge between yesterday and today making this double CD a great chance for
ecstatic experiences. The double compilation “Sufi’s Secret” covers Masters and
performers of Sufi Music such as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Kani Karaca, Abida
Parveen, Djafer Youssef, Mohamed Mounir, Kudsi Erguner, Omar Faruk Tekbilek,
Sukhawat Ali Khan, Mercan Dede, Spiritual Brothers, Ahura and great works of
many other musicians dedicated to the harmony of music and existence. „Sufi’s
Secret“ revealing the truth interpreted through music is surely the access into
a fascinating, possibly exciting cosmos. Sufis say: „There are many books about
sufism, but you can’t find sufism in books“. So give it a try with music; you
will thoroughly take pleasure in it.
