Omar Faruk Tekbilek - One Truth

Turkish virtuoso Omar Faruk Tekbilek opens a window into the divine passion and poetry of Sufism, the mystical sect of Islam.

Burning performances on Middle Eastern instruments, intricate rhythms and intense devotional songs of slowly unfolding magnificence create an ideal world where old and new cultures commingle and time is suspended in the One Truth of music.
