Like A Sufi

Sufi-ethnic rock meets hip hop in India’s first ever Sufi rap.

India’s first Sufi Rap brings together Alif’s signature Sufi ethnic rock sound with Kashmiri rapper MC Kash’s strong lyrics and hip hop beats. The word Sufi carries with it a mystic element. Like A Sufi aims to capture that mysticism, the feeling of being lost in the search for truth. Sung in Kashmiri (or Kosur), a language spoken primarily in the valley of Kashmir and Chenab, the song is an attempt to save this dying language.

For centuries, Sufism, the inner mystical dimension of Islam, has enraptured its followers while fascinating non-believers. It effortlessly combines the meditative calmness of pure devotion with the ecstatic passion of soul-stirring music. 101Sufi is a story of both the present and the past. Modern Sufi music is presented through a series of collaborations, journeys and documentaries. The genre’s history is discovered by creating contemporary portraits of the greatest Sufi poets and scholars.
