The Whirling Dervishes of Damascus have captivated audiences throughout the world with their spellbinding mystical dance that dates back to the 13th century when Rumi, a towering figure of Sufism, created it as a means of ‘spinning off’ worldly diversion to find oneness with the Divine. The Dervishes are joined by Sheikh Hamza Shakkur, the grand master of Muslim sacred song who officiates at the Great Mosque of Damascus, and Al-Kindi, one of the leading ensembles devoted to classical Arab music, on ‘ud (lute), qanun (zither), ney (flute) and percussion.
