Sufi Music


Sufi Music is a genre of music inspired by Sufism. Sufism or also called tasawwuf is defined by its adherents as the inner, mystical dimension of Islam. A practitioner of this tradition is generally known as a Sufi or Dervish.

Therefore, Sufi music is also central to the whirling dervishes and the ceremony of Sema, who use a slow, sedate form of music featuring the Turkish flute, the ney. The Video shows a performance of a Dervish with sufi music.
