Egyptian Mawlawyiah

The Egyptian Mawlawyiah group creates an artistic spiritual ambiance inspired by the Egyptian heritage. It provides an audio-visual alternative to spiritual meditative monologues that every authentic art seeks.
The use of music and whirl 'dancing' aims at stimulating the individual stamina towards his existence and his liberation from his nihilism by being in harmony with the elements of the universe and all its dispersed meanings. It is an invitation to humans to make use of their existence in order to grasp that existence has a universal language despite the differences that emerge on the surface; despite mixed colors because every part of the universe is intoxicated with the reunion.
Whirling in Egypt started from the ancient Pharaonic celebrations which practiced whirling as a basic ritual during the annual celebration of the resurrection of Osiris. In this ritual, the conflict between good and evil ends, and this is symbolized by the elevation of the falcon Horus that flies and combats evil. The Egyptian Mawlawiyah was established in 1994 by its singer Amer Eltony.
