Vengo, Sheikh Ahmad al-Tuni, "Madad"

Tony Gatlif's Vengo, is beautifully filmed in southern Spain. The plot is a bit thin--revolving around avenging the death of a family member of a rival clan. The film features many well-known flamenco artists, and makes for wonderful watching and listening.

Caco, played by the dancer, Antonio Canales, seems to be having one wild dream, which includes several female dervishes, and Sheikh Ahmad al- Tuni's Madad.

There ARE female semazens who follow Sufi paths. Those who say not are mistaken.
