Also, another interesting blog post:
but the real mind blower came from damascus, syria where the worlds oldest music is said to have originated. tahleeleh with sheikh hamza chakour is one of the world’s best known groups devoted to classical arab music.
after chanting a bit together, 4 of the musicians quietly stood up, gently removed their massive capes to reveal their long white dresses. and with their tall hats, they sauntered out in front of the band to whirl.
to my delight ,my first whirling dervish experience.
and there’s no way to explain what that feels like.
