Book Description
Regula Burckhardt Qureshi's study carefully describes and documents the performance and rules of this music in the traditional Sufi assembly. Through the ritual of sama, the profound belief system and its powerful articulation through mystical poetry in three languages (Farsi, Hindi, Urdu), Qureshi explores the social and economic relationships between Sufi listeners and musicians.
