Listeners embarked on a journey to the world of love, surrender and wisdom at Ruhaniyat, the All India Sufi and Mystic Music Festival that Bangalore hosted recently.

‘Mystic drums’ by Siddhi Goma, who came to Gujarat from Africa 750 years ago, was the other item. Dancers used standing drums, wind pipes, long sticks and dhols to accompany their chants.
The performance had the artistes throw coconuts up in the air, jump 4-5 ft up and break them into pieces with their heads.
The grand finale came in the form of ‘Sufi Qawwali’ by Shameen and Nayeem Ajmeri. There was no one in the crowd who escaped the jalwa of these maestros.
They opened with a Kaul, in memory of Ali, which was followed by one of their most popular qawwalis, Alla Alla Allahoo.
