(dancing talent)
I was searching for talents who are specialists in the spiritual expression of ‘Whirling Dervish’… having seen many dancers and performers reach almost trance-like states whilst dancing to amazing middle eastern music and rhythms, i knew this to be a great niche area of global culture to explore for my remit. During my past endeavors of promoting ‘Global Music’ I recall some great artists and collectives who resonated the ideal modern ‘whirling’ sound- Oojami, Natacha Atlas, Niyaz, and even the eclectic Cheb i Sabbah … just to name a few.
During my search I heard back from a dancer who can easily be titled as a ‘Whirling Dervish’ specialist. His name is Ziya Azazi and you can see some videos of his dancing and choreography via youtube.
