MAZAHER ENSEMBLE @Attikosxoleio BAUMSTRASSE

Mazaher Ensemble "Zar- Music & Ritual"

Workshop on Zar therapeutic Music taught by the Mazaher Ensemble. Mazaher is one of the rare ensembles in which women play a leading role and are connected to a most ancient tradition practiced in Egypt and in many countries in the region, stretching from East Africa to the Arabic peninsula. It is a healing ritual of drumming and dancing whose tradition is carried mainly by women (men have the second roles) and whose main participants are women. Its aim is to to harmonize the inner lives of the participants.  The experience can be cathartic, a physical and spiritual purification that leaves one calm and ready to face the world again.
