About this event
The event
The evening features the samâ ritual of the Moroccan Charqawiya Sufi order, one of several living brotherhood traditions presented during the eighteenth Fez Festival of Sufi Culture. The performance brings devotional singing and collective listening to the historic Bab Al Makina setting.
Artistic and cultural context
Samâ is a tradition of attentive listening and mystical praise in which melody and poetic language are intertwined. Practices differ between Sufi orders: this event should be understood within its Moroccan cultural and spiritual context, rather than described as a conventional pop concert.
