Tariqua 'Alawiya, The - The 'Imara - The Dance Of The Stars (LP)

The 'imara is an active meditation in which the 'dhikr', the recitation od the devine name, becomes a powerful breath that rises up forcefully from the deepest depths of the soul. Upright, with closed eyes tightly pressed up against each other, the right hand on the neighbour's left hand, fingers crossed, the brothers from a closed circle in the middle of which one of them, the 'qutb', marks time... Recorded in Algeria by Charles Duvelle in 2001. Limited edition 12" white vinyl.
