Ancient Sufi Invocations and Forgotten Songs from Aleppo is a beautiful album of sacred chanting and haunting melodies-a collection of ULTRA rare SUFI recordings captured in SYRIA months before civil war erupted. It was recorded by Jason Hamacher in the courtyard of a 500-year-old-house in Aleppo, one of the world's oldest cities.  In 2009 in Aleppo, Syria, A small group of Sufi musicians band together to preserve the nearly forgotten melodies, songs, and poems unique to the ancient city. In 2010 Jason Hamacher was in Aleppo to document the ancient prayers, hallowed rituals, and sacred spaces of Syria's religious minorities.  Hamacher heard about a secretive group of Sufi musicians that practiced “the old traditions.”  Intrigued by the mysterious description, Hamacher sought an introduction to the group through a mutual friend & became the first Westerner to hear  NAWA preform. NAWA performed in public a handful of times before Syria erupted into civil war. The group’s displaced members are now scattered throughout Europe and the Middle East. 12” Vinyl Record + download card  & bonus material (180-gram black vinyl w/ full color labels & metallic gatefold jacket Limited to 400)

"Because I cannot sleep I make music in the night" - Mevlana Celaluddin Rumi 

Al Firdaus Ensemble 'Ya Ajmal Al Anbiya ' يا أجمل الأنبياء

Ali reciting the "Ayat (verse) of light" from the "Surat (chapter) of light" from the Holy Quran. 

    Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.
    The parable of His Light is a niche wherein is a lamp—
    the lamp is in a glass, the glass as it were a glittering star—
    lit from a blessed olive tree,
    neither eastern nor western,
    whose oil almost lights up,
    though fire should not touch it.
    Light upon light.
    Allah guides to His Light whomever He wishes.
    Allah draws parables for mankind,
    and Allah has knowledge of all things.
