Laylat al-\u1e0fikr
\nTrance and Spirituality in the Traditional Egyptian Music<\/h3>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

The relationship between music and trance is one of the most fascinating themes in anthropology and ethnomusicology that is not yet exhaustively investigated in Arabic music. The philosopher al-Ghazaly in his book\u00a0Kita\u0304b a\u0304da\u0304b al-sama\u0304’ wa-l-wajd<\/em>, \u201cThe Book of the good manners in listening and trance\u201d, places music in the center of the mystical research.\u00a0Sama\u2019<\/em>\u00a0(listening) and\u00a0Wajd<\/em>\u00a0(trance) are considered the two components of music practice, both for secular music (\u1e6darab<\/em>) and religious ones (Gilbert, 1990). Culture and popular Egyptian music have their own specific aesthetics, semiotic and symbology seeing until today the trance as common focal point and the final fulfillment of the religious music practice in Egypt. The\u00a0wajd<\/em>\u00a0expresses a common social and spiritual path for the attainment of purification and spiritual elevation, understood as detachment from contingency and the material world.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0mun\u0161id\u012bn<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(singers performing the devotional chants) Abuzeid Azamil and Salim Atallah with the Wajd Ensemble will perform a repertoire of \u1e0fikr and a vaste variety of sufi songs and musics from the Egyptian Delta tradition.<\/p>\n

Laylat al-\u1e0fikr<\/strong>\u00a0is part of ASWAT series, a joint initiative by CEDEJ, IFAO and IFE, curated by Kawkab Tawfik.<\/p>\n

ASWAT<\/a><\/h4>\n

Sounds – and music – are able to shape individual and collective identities, define spaces and borders, denote cultures, transmit knowledge and influence style lives.<\/p>\n

ASWAT is a series of music meetings and music 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. The 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.<\/p>\n

Aswat is a joint initiative from CEDEJ, IFAO and IFE.<\/p>\n

Les sons – et la musique – sont capables de fa\u00e7onner les identit\u00e9s individuelles et collectives, de d\u00e9finir les espaces et les fronti\u00e8res, de d\u00e9noter les cultures, de transmettre les connaissances et d’influencer les styles de vies.<\/p>\n

ASWAT est une s\u00e9rie de rencontres et de spectacles musicaux ax\u00e9s sur la ou les cultures musicales \u00e9gyptiennes qui vise \u00e0 explorer un \u00e9ventail de pratiques musicales \u00e0 travers l’\u00c9gypte, et au-del\u00e0, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la contribution de conf\u00e9renciers universitaires et de musiciens, suivie d’un concert. Les rencontres seront l’occasion d’approfondir certains aspects historiques, religieux, sociaux et musicologiques qui s’entrem\u00ealent dans et \u00e0 partir du patrimoine musical \u00e9gyptien, en abordant les pratiques de cr\u00e9ation, d’interpr\u00e9tation et de r\u00e9ception.<\/p>\n
