Notes
Label: Celestial Harmonies 13144-2 Recording date: 1998(?) Producer: David Parsons Liner notes: Armand Shiloah, Suzan Al-Mutawa, Francis Robinson, Timothy D. Fuson. Notes: Part of a 15 volume set devoted to the music of Islam. Recorded at the Academia Arabesca, The Medina (Marrakesh, Morocco). `Aîssâoua Sûfî Ceremony, the first of three volumes in this series recorded in Morocco, captures the public performance of `Aîssâoua rituals, called hadra. `Aîssâoua is the brotherhood comprised of followers of one of Morocco's most well-known and highly regarded spiritual leaders, Shaykh 'Abd Allâh Sîdî Muhammad Ben 'Aîsa as-Sufiâni al-Mukhtârî (870/1465-933/1526). `Aîssâoua performances work on several levels: for members of the brotherhood, they form part of their spiritual training; for ceremony sponsors they serve to bless the event; and for the individual pilgrim or participant, the ritual provides access to the tangible baraka (blessing) of the Shaykh (Arabic Sheikh), which can be activated for purposes of healing and guidance. The trance possession which occurs during the hadra is the most dramatic manifestation of this therapeutic function of the performance. The baraka which effects these transformations is activated and brought into the hadra by means of recitations, singing and music. Performers: Members of an `Aîssâoua team in Marrakesh, Morocco. It features chanting, a variety of percussion, including tbîlât (pair of small bowl-shaped clay drums played with sticks), ta`rîja (small vase-shaped clay drum), târ (large wooden frame drum with cymbals), bendîr (round wooden frame drum with resonant gut strings), tbel (large wooden barrel-drum played with sticks), as well as ghaita (a cone-shaped double reed instrument in the oboe family).
