Marina Ahmad’s performance is comming to Japan again in November.
As a vocalist of North Indian music and a singer of sufi poetry, her deep devotional singing voice is most characteristic and outstanding point. It can be said to be a prayer that directly affects to the soul.
She sings the Sufi poetry in North Indian traditional Raga music.
If you express in a single word what is the big theme of Sufi poetry, “Divine Love” is surely coming at first.
In addition, as a special guest, we are having Yusuke Tominaga, a singer-songwriter who has a established reputation as a outstanding singer.
Finally we are collaborating for the first time after been a year of musical exchange since Marina Ahmad and Tominaga met each other last year.
In Shinsho-in performances, “Devine Love” is the main theme.
When you realize this deep message in the music, you may also remember “Matsuhime-sama” who established this temple “Shinsho-in”. The story of her life was really devoted and telling Devine Love..
Music is invisible, but you can feel it more than you see it. When the right sound is played at the right place, the music is transmitted with amazing power.

Her sufi music is her own composition based on North Indian traditional raga music.
And we are having a singer “Sally Sachi” as a special guest. She is a classical opera and jazz singer and also pianist. Recent years, she has also been singing Indian songs and involved in Indian music collaboration projects both in India and Japan.
We will send “My Favorite Songs” as a theme of this event with variety of songs from classical, sufi to movie songs.
I hope you will enjoy the beauty of the Indian musical melody as well as the taste and fun of the songs.
