In the windswept desert of northwestern India, at the edge of the Islamic Orient, the Gypsies, Muslims, and Hindus of Rajasthan have coexisted for over ten centuries, giving rise to a sacred music tradition at once sensual and holy. On Dhola Maru, Musafir unleashes a whirlwind of masterful rhythms and spiraling polyphonies transporting us into the ethereal landscape of Rajasthan's gods and maharajas, saints and lovers.This world-class gathering of musicians brings alive three sacred music traditions at their highest level - electrifying Muslim qawwali chant, North Indian raga, and passionate songs from the dawn of Gypsy culture - drawing us "through the trance and irresistibly into the heart of divine ecstasy."
