Sufi Wisdom: Dervish Dance Event

by Joe Katzman at August 9, 2003 7:42 AM

This will be a somewhat unusual entry, an event rather than our usual Saturday feature. Bahman Kalbasi wrote me to let me know, and I'll be at the Friday show. Any Toronto readers would be more than welcome to join me - we can meet in the coffee shop at the corner of College & Yonge at 9:30pm Aug. 15th.

Hamd: A Spiritual Dervish Dance from Persia
Performed by Ida Meftahi

This dance is based on the traditional ceremony performed by the Dervishes of the Rumi Order, founded by Jalaleddin Rumi the Persian mystic poet (and I believe, the best-selling poet in America even today). The whirling movements have been enriched by broader motions pertaining to that part of Order extant in Balouchestan, the southeastern providence of Iran.

For more details on the event...

This piece was choreographed by Farzaneh Kaboli, the famous Persian choreographer. The music was composed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the Pakistani musician whose music shares similarities with its nearby Balouch counterpart in Iran. Ms. Kaboli has masterfully fused this Qawwali Pakistani music with Iranian Dervish dance.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
