Product Description
For hundreds of millions of Sufi followers worldwide, music is at the heart of their tradition and a way of getting closer to God. From the Whirling Dervishes of Turkey to the qawwali music of Pakistan, Sufism has produced some of the world?s most spectacular music celebrated by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Dalrymple?s film traces the shared roots of Christianity and Islam in the Middle East and discovers Sufism to be a peaceful, tolerant and pluralistic bastion against fundamentalism.
Includes footage of performances by Youssou N'Dour, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Mercan Dede, Abida Parveen, Sain Zahoor, Galata Mevlevi Ensemble, Kudsi Erguner, Goonga and Mithu Sain, Junoon and Abdennbi Zizi.
DVD Extras features extended performances by Kudsi Erguner, Sain Zahoor, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Bhitshah Fakirs and Rokia Riman Jilala Band.

AMAZING! November 5, 2008
Kiwi (New Zealand)
A great DVD documentary on Sufi music, and explains something of the all-encompassing philosophy of Sufism. The only negative is that he keeps saying that Sufism is a branch of Islam, whereas to my knowledge, Sufism way pre-dates Islam (by 2000 years?). I think he's trying to make Islam more friendly to the West by allaying it with Sufism. I find it very exciting, but maybe that's partly due to the fact that we're about to leave for India where we'll be visiting some of the places featured. Great rhythm. Very colourful. My grand daughter loves it too especially the flute, the pirate, and Santa Claus!
