Sidi Sufis: African Indian Mystics of Gujarat |
|||||
“A modestly produced but intriguing album... the CD provides some convincing musical evidence of an African diaspora to Asia....” “... an exciting introduction to the world of the Sidi Sufis of Gujarat ... especially welcome given the dearth of written and recorded material on African-Indian music in general. ...this CD presents valuable and vibrant aural documentation of the African-Indian presence on the Indian subcontinent. Students and scholars of Indian music, of Islam and Sufism, and of the African diaspora will find much of interest in Catlin-Jairazbhoy’s audio and video recordings, which provide the first significant resource for this previously little-known African diasporic musical tradition.” |
