Locate a connection between a Sufi music and a secular music in any part of the Muslim world. Explain: where in the world are these musics located, and how are they related? Does the sacred become secular or the reverse? Or are they related in some more complex way? 1-2 pages.
Class
Sufism and (non-religious) Islamicate music: a two way street: Sufi music draws on the broader musical system; that musical system also draws on Sufism for musical training; and sometimes Sufi music becomes popular music too.
Examples:
- The Mevlevi Ayin and Turkish classical music; the Ayin as touristic entertainment
- Ghanaian Tijaniyya music, Akwashirawa, incorporating Hausa music - and in conflict with the Salafis
- Moroccan Gnawa and entertainment
- Qawwali and Hindustani music of south asia; Qawwal as popular music
