Sufi music festival
Marvellous is the sound that enriches the soul. The Sufi, Mystic and the Baul music intuits and affirms the fact that in ecstasy, a mystic sends his answers to the supreme being, who reveals Himself to him.
Presenting this ancient but variable spiritual tradition from different parts of India, the Mumbai-based `Banyan Tree' is attempting to highlight `unity within diversity,' a concept well known to Indians.
The Sufi music festival, `Karawane Ruhaniyat,' brainchild of Mahesh Babu and Nandini, will be held on February 18, 6.30 p.m. at the Madras Race Club Lawns, Guindy.
Performers
The event includes Parvathy Baul and Madan Vairagya from Bengal, who will sing Baul songs Ahmed Kabir Mashooq Allah Rifayi, Nanak and Manak Brothers of Punjab, Kachra Khan, Padmaram Mamma and Rana Khan, who will communicate the mystique of Sufi kalams from Rajasthan Sarfaraz Chisti, who will sing Sufi qawwali, and the resonant drum beats of Mizhavu players of Kerala.
