Islamic. Please read my survey of inshad dini (Islamic hymnody in Egypt). Then read listening notes for corresponding audio examples. You may also listen to a typical mawlid and read associated album notes. The mawlid is a celebration of the Prophet Muhammad's birth, including devotional singing; it is frequently recited in the mystical orders of Islam, the turuq Sufiyya - in this case the Hamidiyya Shadhiliyya order of Egypt.

Hindu. Please read Slawek's Popular Kirtan in Benares

Baul. Please read Capwell's Popular Expression of Religious Syncretism.

Optional supplementary readings:

  • For further background on the Bauls, see another article by Capwell.
  • On the religious poetry of Rabindranath Tagore (related to both Hinduism and the Bauls) see []

Your selected readings

Include here articles about devotional chant - intoned religious texts apart from the recitation of Divinely-given ones. Follow your citation with a capsule summary.
