Mevlevi Sufi music is a deeply spiritual genre, rooted in the mystical practices of the whirling dervishes of the Sufi tradition in Islam. This genre is central to the Sema ceremony, which symbolizes a spiritual journey toward divine love and maturity. Characterized by its meditative and trance-inducing qualities, the music often incorporates traditional Middle Eastern instruments, such as the ney (a type of reed flute), oud, qanun, and frame drums, layering haunting melodies that evoke a sense of unity with the divine. Vocalists like İsmail Coşar and Halil Necipoğlu often intone devotional poetry and chants, deepening the sacred atmosphere. Artists within this genre aim to capture the essence of Sufi mysticism, offering listeners a portal to introspection and spiritual elevation through their soulful and intricate aural tapestry.
