Description |
The Whirling Dervishes have been a beautiful and important part of Turkish culture for more than 700 years. Incorporating Turkish classical and mystical music with sema (whirling) ceremonies these rituals are a joyful plea for love and understanding...Accompanied by music, drums and chanting, the dervishes spin, reaching an ecstatic trance-like state. |
