Sufyana Musiqi - The Classical Music of Kashmir

Pacholczyk, Jozef

(Intercultural Music Studies Vol.: 9)

"Sufyana musiqi" (Sufi music) is the vocal ensemble music of the urban elite of Kashmir, a part of Jammu and Kashmir, the nothernmost province of India. It functions principally as a religious music, being connected with the rituals of the Sufis (Muslim mystics) and as an elite entertainment music performed in a secular context. Sufyana reflects the cultural position of Kashmir as a meeting point between the Persian-dominated culture of Central Asia and India.
Through the description and analysis of the practice, repertory, context, and theory, the book documents this now quickly disappearing tradition. It contains an analytical catalog of forty-seven maqam suites in use in the 1970s and 1980s.
