Last month's download was Part 1: here are the links for one file or tracks for CD.
- VOICE OF PIR-O-MURSHID HAZRAT INAYAT KHAN
- From a recording made some 90 years ago, the great teacher from India who brought Sufism to the West is heard singing traditional sacred phrases. May be translated as "Peace is Power" and "There is no Reality, except the One" Download (370 kB)
- THE SUFI CHOIRS
- The original SUFI CHOIR formed in 1969 among the followers of Sufi Murshid Samuel Lewis. Allaudin William Mathieu -- a consumate professional in the music world, a teacher of teachers, a composer and performer with solid connections to Eastern music, jazz and classicism, and now a Sufi Sheikh -- formed, led and composed for the choir, pioneering in East-West "fusion" music and inspiring many souls with their musicality and their transmission of joy and wisdom. (Your Webmaster and many others just about wore out their Sufi Choir records in those days. Now they're all available on CD's) Many of today's Sufi leaders sang with the choir, and Fatima has photos of the choir online. This music has inspired many other choirs to spring up in Sufi communities. In the East Bay for a number of years Travelin' Light delighted the community with sacred music old and new, and from 1994 until 2005, the tradition was carried on in the North Bay by THE NEW SUFI CHOIR, performing music of Allaudin and many new pieces, mostly originals, and releasing two CDs also. ( Hear samples).
