DESCRIPTION
Makam: Segah
‘Come See’ (Ben Yürürüm Yane Yane) is a Sufi song that is very popular throughout Turkey and the Balkans. Its lyrics come from a poem by the 13th century Turkish poet and mystic, Yunus Emre, whose poetry speaks to the human longing and love for the Divine. This song has been sung for centuries in Sufi ceremonies in Turkish-speaking lands and it continues to be a source of inspiration today. The English translation was provided by Dr Timothy Winter. In Makam Segah, this new arrangement was performed live at the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music in 2019.

ABOUT THE ALBUM
Sami Yusuf’s latest album ‘Live at the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music’ was born of his desire to translate for a global audience the rich musical language of cultures stretching from Andalusia, North Africa, and Arabia to Turkey and beyond. His desire is realised here: the music is refined, and whether meditative or ecstatic, it is all connected by remarkable emotional depth of expression. In its melodic Arabic love songs, its rhythmic chants of North African Sufi lodges, its trance-like Turkish ilahis of the whirling dervishes - this is the visionary work of a composer and performer at the top of his game. Directing an international ensemble of master instrumentalists on traditional acoustic instruments - Bağlama, santur, qanun, kemanche, ney and more - and joined by a renowned Moroccan vocal group, in this 16-track album Sami Yusuf delivers all the magic of the live performance that held his Fes audience spellbound.
2019 was Sami’s second time headlining this prestigious festival, the first time was 2009, joining the ranks of earlier headliners such as Ravi Shankar, Paco de Lucia, Youssou N’Dour, Joan Baez, Björk and Ben Harper.
