Broukar were formed in 2007 in Damascus. Five musicians and 2 whirling Dervish dancers, ready to flip your senses with their piercing music, inspired by divine Sufi philosophy, in their own enthusiastic, highly spiritual reinterpretation of classical Arabic songs, both sacred and secular. The highlight is certainly the hypnotic ritual of the sacred dance of the Dervishes, as they turn on their own axis, slowly at first then faster and faster, in an unrelenting spinning to ecstasy, until the final religious trance is reached. Magic.
