When the heart becomes distracted and disconnected,

Sing, oh minstrel,

It is your Sweet melody

That brings the heart back to Harmony.

    -Hafez

The art of Persian Sufi music is a matter of the heart. It emerges from the longing for union, The soul’s deep desire to return to its primordial state. Therefore, the rhythmical patterns of Persian Sufi music are required to be very specific and finely tuned, they are meant to resonate with the heart’s eternal song and evoke the forgotten heavenly harmony, thus awakening the remembrance of our true origins.

​

The ancient tradition of Sufi music is deeply embedded in Persian collective consciousness, but has been mainly passed on verbally, from master to disciple, throughout the ages. Due to the increasing interest for oriental art and culture, these ancestral tunes have started to be revealed to a larger Occidental audience. But a lot of times this disclosure may lead to diluting or distorting the essential knowledge, and this is the main reason for our current endeavor to provide an authentic source for a thorough comprehension and exploration of the ancient art of Persian Sufi music.
