I would love to know about this group and how the soloist is involved - also the washing hands and face at the beginning of the piece... perhaps a ritual cleansing as before muslim prayer? the connection with water and flow is beautiful.
Muslims are a very clean people. We pray 5 times a day before the prayer. We wash our hands and feet and head almost all the body with water. This is called Wodoo'a. We feel spiritually in his performance. Islam, Arab and Andalusian heritage is a rich heritage of science, art and fine music. Every Arab country is characterized by its music, heritage, and uniting Arabic, Islamic religion and love of God. I invite you to read more about Islam and Arab culture and if you have questions ask me
