“We’ve come to earth to unite, not to separate”- Rumi
The Secret Ensemble represents unity.
That unity is represented by a coalition of expert musicians who have taken Anatolian sufi and mystic music along with infuences from their own regions and created a brand new sound.
These musicians have all joined forces under the guidance of legendary “Baglama” master Coskun Karademir.
Their first project an albüm entitled , “Call of the Birds” features Iranian singer Mahsa Vahdat.
With the release of her albüm, “The Sun Will Rise”, Mahsa Vahdat won the 2016 German critics awards "Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik".

Hafez of Shi raz, Yûnus Emre, Pîr Sultan Abdal, Niyâzi-i Mısrî, Kul Himmet, Alvarlı Efe, and Hilmi Dede Baba have gathered together to present this gift from their souls.
Once again the theme is unity.
When you listen to their collective talents, the music flows seamlessly.
It is as if they’ve all been chanting.

There is no such sect as the Sunnism or Shi’ism - their very existence seems to embody the quote: “Our sect is Divine Love”...
Here, the traditional Iranian Sufi Music has met with the traditional Turkish Sufi Music. Bektâşî devr-i revânı has met Mevlevî Bayâtî; also, hicaz nefes has met the last yürük semai in this chamber. Bağlama has joined to ney, kopuz to bendir...
Some sang in Persian - some sang in Turkish but any and all linguistic barriers were shattered and it was as if they all spoke the same language. “Those who share the same soul are preferred to those who speak the same language”.
The voice of Mahsa Vahdat, who sings in Persian and whose name means ‘Absolute Oneness’, and the voice of Neş’e, who sings in Turkish, have been transformed to The Call of The Birds, just like the cry, the call of Attar’s Simurgh… just like the edict of Ali, who was believed as the head of the gnostics says, “What You Seek Resides In You But You Don’t Realize”.
With “CALL OF THE BIRDS”, THE SECRET ENSEMBLE are singing the brotherhood of people in the language of affection.
