Sounds \u2013 and music \u2013 are able to shape individual and collective identities, define spaces and borders, denote cultures, transmit knowledge and influence style lives. ASWAT is a series of music meetings and performances focusing on Egyptian culture(s) of music that seeks to explore a range of musical practices across Egypt, and beyond, through the contribution of academic speakers and music makers, followed by a concert.
\nThe meetings will offer the opportunity to deepen some historical, religious, social and musicological aspects that interwoven in, and from, the Egyptian music heritage, addressing creation, performance and reception practice.<\/div>\n
ASWAT<\/strong> is a joint initiative from IFAO and CEDEJ, curated by Kawkab Tawfik.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The great Egyptian 20th century music tradition is not dead but alive both in contemporary performance and it is inspiration for new compositions. Arabic music making is more and more developing and shaping new forms and expressions, traveling across and beyond geographical spaces, meeting new audiences.<\/div>\n
Kawkab Tawfik (IFAO-CEDEJ) will present the za\u0304r Ab\u016b al-Ghai\u1e6d tradition along with introducing the musicians and members of the T\u0323ari\u0304qa Ah\u0323madiya G\u0307it\u0323a\u0304niya, represented by Mohammed Abuzeid and the Abu al-Ghait Ensemble who will perform the music repertoire of their heritage.<\/div>\n
The Za\u0304r of Abu\u0304 al-Ghai\u1e6d is a very unique model of cultural, religious and music syncretism.
\nDeveloped between the XIX and XX centuries in the Delta of Egypt from the Sudanese and Upper Egyptian za\u0304r cult, it is carried on by the sufi T\u0323ari\u0304qa Ah\u0323madiya G\u0307it\u0323a\u0304niya. This T\u0323ari\u0304qa is founded by the dervish Sheikh Hassan Abu al-Ghait who combined the zikr with the za\u0304r
\npractices in the Abu\u0304 al-Ghai\u1e6d village and Qalyubiya Governorate. The descendants of the sufi saint are still keeping the za\u0304r tradition alive, holding the legacy of their ancestor.
\nThey merge sufi textual and music repertoire to the za\u0304r rhythms and play za\u0304r songs with instruments belonging to the Egyptian religious tradition: the drums table and naqraza\u0304n, the frame drums mazhar and h\u0323a\u0304na, with a strong role of the t\u0323u\u0304ra (cymbals) and the ka\u0304wa\u0304la\u0304 (Egyptian single reed flute). During the za\u0304r ritual, a small ensemble is set around the practitioner who dances following the beat, considered the breath of the possessing spirit.
\nDancing on a progressively speed-increasing beat, the possessed person can enter in connection with the spirit, appease his\/her anger and end the conflict that caused the illness which the practitioner was complaining of.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
