Sacred Music
Reviews
"One of the best Sufi recordings to appear during this past year, these are melodic chants by contemporary American Sufi that are pleasant to listen to over and over again. Includes portions of the call to prayer done by Imam Bilal Hyde. We highly recommend this well-produced program."

"In a time when things are getting better and better and worse and worse, faster and faster and in a time when anything is possible and nothing is certain, there is a deep thirst in many souls for stillness and peace in the midst of seeming chaos. People seeking refuge from the crazy world we live in meditate, listen to wise men and women share their understandings, read spiritual writings and listen to and play transformational music.
Music is a way of entering into a vibrational field that when dedicated to spirit can uplift and support entry into ecstatic trance states. The Sufi's have been playing and dancing to sacred music for hundreds of years enjoying the rich and beautiful tapestry of sound derived from an eclectic mix of ancient instruments and voices in harmony with the ethereal world.
Such is the experience of a new CD of sacred remembrance of Divine love and peace in which our hearts can rest. The CD, Music for World Peace, is a magical tour through sacred and inspired Sufi chants from around the world by a group of 24 musicians and over 30 voices in perfect harmony with each other. When the time comes for you to move deeply into Divine remembrance, this is the perfect CD. As Rumi put it so beautifully, "Open your heart, and you will hear the lutes of the Angels."
And, as a wonderful gift, the producers are donating the proceeds of this CD to the peace work of the International Peace Project, an affiliate of The Fellowship of Reconciliation (www.forusa.org), FOR seeks to replace violence, war, racism, and economic injustice with nonviolence, peace, and justice. FOR promotes a revolutionary vision of a beloved community where differences are respected, conflicts are addressed nonviolently, oppressive structures are dismantled, and where people live in harmony with the earth, nurtured by diverse spiritual traditions that foster compassion, solidarity, and reconciliation."
