Movie Reviews of Sufi Soul: The Mystic Music of Islam
Movie Review: Excellent short comprehensive documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend lent this to my husband. We watched it--was great for those first getting an introduction to sufi music. Ended up buying it for my husband as a gift. Documentary shows forms of sufi music across Africa, Europe, and Asia. Great for those who enjoy studying religion and/or folk music.
