Sufi Fusion - Kafi Shah Hussain - Maharaja Ensemble & ANTONIO EL PIPA FLAMENCO ENSEMBLE

Maharaja - Formerly known as Musafir, Maharaja is a group that gathers the leading musician tribal castes of the desert of India, country of the Kings, Rajasthan, the land of some of the richest and most diverse traditions in Indian art and culture, delimited by the Swamps of Kutch, in Gujarat at South, the Arawalli mountains at East and by the Sindh, in Pakistan in the West.
Outrageously elegant and beautiful, malicious and majestic, these musicians, poets and shamans reflect their music and their sumptuous surrounding. A music of ecstasy, a whirlwind of climaxes punctuated by the gentle gesture of a breathtaking tune. An authentic magical experience.
The ancestors of these musicians played an important role in spreading the teachings of the many sects of mystics, Sufi and Bhakti movements, through singing ballads and devotional songs. For the warriors, they were familiar figures on the battlefield where their praise of past heroes and their exploits through epic tales, plus their ridicule of the enemy would encourage bravery and boost morale.
This hearted music of pure pleasure and pain is highly communicative and captivating for worldwide audiences though it originates from pure no man's land and is the primitive (Jhangra) form of North Indian classical music.

ANTONIO EL PIPA FLAMENCO ENSEMBLE from Andalucia, Spain, is one of the most traditional flamenco groups performing today. Born in Jerez, Antonio comes from a family dynasty of Gitano artists, among whom are his grandmother, the legendary Tía Juana la del Pipa (now deceased) and his aunt Juana la del Pipa, who dances in this group and sings with a gravelly voice that feels as raw as centuries of pain. Their 'Gypsy Passion' dance production brought Antonio and his aunt Juana accolades from critics in the USA and Europe, and they continue to perform around the world and to the toughest flamenco audiences - in Spain.

Sof is a type of a cloth(thick cloth, sofa is also derived from there) which sheet/peace was taken on shoulders by a group of muslims after Prophet Muhammad PBUH. They beleived that they will follow exactly the life of Prophet PBUH, no matter what difficuties they face. Since they were covering themselves with SOF, therefore they were started to be called SOOFI.
