Ihsan Rmiki Ihsan Rmiki
Al-Samaa: Ecstatic spiritual audition (Institute du monde arabe)
$18.99

The recording notes say: The samaa, or spiritual concert, is part of the Sufi tradition, and involves listening to music and song in modes of Andalusian origin in order to reach spiritual awakening and contact with the divine, a trance-like state known as the wajd. The practice takes place in the refined atmosphere of the zawiyas. Panegyrics are sung either solo or in chorus with an instrumental accompaniment of varying importance; the performance is conducted by a shaykh whose role is twofold: to lead the ritual and the spiritual guide of the devotees. Ishan Rmiki, one of the rare female vocalists to perform samaa, transports her audience in a mood of spiritual fervor still cultivated in modern-day urban Morocco. The result is a musical account of this profound spiritual journey that all those who aspire to union with God will appreciate.

 Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
