Sami Yusuf - Ven Mi Alma

Follow Sami Yusuf on:

‘Ven Mi Alma’ invites listeners into a stunning musical journey that celebrates the rich history of Al-Andalus, Flamenco, and both Eastern and Western classical music traditions.
The piece opens with Israel Moro’s vocals, setting the stage for a journey that moves through the soulful call of the ney, the intricate beauty of Antoine Morinière’s classical guitar followed by the fiery spirit of flamenco guitars performed by José Manuel León and Tarik Hilal. As Maqsad Azizov’s Balaban enters, it converses with the orchestra in a profound dialogue. Sami Yusuf’s vocals, followed by Nabyla Maan, Ismail Boujia, and Israel Moro, creates an ecstatic union of voices, each one distinct yet harmoniously intertwined.
As the piece progresses, the Balaban and guitars blend seamlessly with Sami Yusuf’s vocals, evoking a dreamlike state that carries the listener through a voyage of introspection and revelation. The culmination of ‘Ven Vi Alma’ is a euphoric musical dance—a powerful dialogue between the full ensemble and the Balaban. This climactic exchange embodies the essence of the piece’s title, ‘Ven Mi Alma’, or ‘Come, My Soul’ in Spanish, reflecting a call to the depths of the human spirit.

Ruhunuzu okşuyor, sakinlik veriyor. Ölüm sonrası sıkıntı ve telaş, ve de korkuları azaltan korkma teslim ol Rabbine der bir seda gibi. Rabbim imanla göçüp gitmeyi ve Onun hoşnutluğunu kazanabilmeyi nasip etsin. ❤❤

Müzik teorik olarak Evrenseldir. Ancak Sami YUSUF Müziğin Evrenselliğini Pratik ve akademik olarakta Evrene duyurmuş, çok özel bir ruh’a ve yeteneklere sahip donanımlı bir müzisyen. Baharatlama ve harmanlamayı lezzetini bozmadan kıvamında ölçeklemeyi iyi biliyor. Çok geç tanıdığım için şanssız ama neticede tanıma şerefini yaşadığım için de şanslı hissediyorum ☀️💛🫶❤️
