From the windswept desert of northwestern India, at the edge of the Islamic Orient, comes Musafir"s Dhola Maru, 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."
