Sami Yusuf - When Paths Meet (Vol. 1) | Full Concert

Follow Sami Yusuf on:

DESCRIPTION:

When Paths Meet is born of a desire to use the language of music to arrive at a singular unity underlying the complex diversity of the world of creation. When Paths Meet is an exploration. It is a celebration. The traditional instruments heard here come from lands stretching from China to Spain. The lyrics come from mystical writings from 12th century Germany and Moorish Spain to 16th century Azerbaijan, to 21st century US and UK. When Paths Meet brings together Sami Yusuf and his ensemble, Cappella Amsterdam, and the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra. The voice of each group is distinct; each articulates its own ethos and emanates the artistic fragrance of its own world. In Sami Yusuf’s compositions, their unique voices rise and fall, giving way to one another, until an understanding at the deepest level is reached. Beauty and the love that pervades it is indivisible, however varied and intricate their expressions. To realize that is to arrive at the place of meeting.

Performed by Cappella Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, and Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.

Sami Yusuf is spiritual doctor...He can pierce your soul and can heal wounded parts by his music with his divine power of healing.

[hibabouakl]

few months ago I got to experience the magical live performance of When Paths Meet at the Fez Festival 2024, I'm holding on to the memories of it ever since. This lovely surprise here feels like the perfect way to reminisce. I am forever grateful for Sami Yusuf and his beautiful art 🤍

[nina_caeruleaphile]

We are so lucky to be contemporary with a genius composer and singer, who understand West and East, uniting their paths in an unique form of music.

موسيقى سامي يوسف تشعر بانها مزيج الحان آسيويه مع شرقيه ولمسه بسيطه من اوربا وتجعلك تعيش العشق الإلهي وتعيش عالم اخر جميل في حب الله الخالق ❤😊 سبحانه وتعالى كم هو شعور جميل تتمنى ان لاينتهي وتبقى في عالم العشق الإلهي للابد ❤

[samiraaijaz]

Immersing myself in the world of 'When Paths Meet' is like stepping into a sanctuary of musical excellence and spiritual bliss. Each note, each lyric, resonates with a profound energy that touches the core of my being, leaving me in awe of Sami Yusuf's unmatched artistry and vision. It's more than just an album; it's a transformative experience that elevates my soul and ignites a deeper connection to the beauty and wisdom within.

ملي كنت صغير وأنا نسمع في سامي يوسف والأن عمري 22 سنة ماشاء الله صوت في القمة أخوك من الجزائر 🇩🇿

[saadetates_]

I was profoundly touched by the spiritual beauty of this performance in Holland, and feel incredibly lucky and privileged to have witnessed it! These are pioneering works, affirming @SamiYusuf's place as a true musical visionary of our time!
Can’t wait to be enveloped by such divine beauty again! ❤️

[kazisajeda]

I want to say one thing that we want more songs and concerts from sami

[latifabattiche]

يا الله ماهدا الجمال و الفن الراقي الدي تقدمه للعالم انك نقطة الضوء والامل الوحيدة لنا في عالم الفوضى😢
بارك الله فيك وزادك من فضله ونعمه🤲💛💛💛

[y.a]

The rhythm always changes my mind and my thinking makes my soul so peaceful .

Attracting my soul beyond the material world.

Bravo möhtəşəmsən varol Bakıdan salamlar

[aminakh]

J'aurais aimé être présente à ce concert extraordinaire, mais à cette époque là nos chemins ne s'étaient pas encore croisés. En juin 2022 tu ne savais même pas que j'existais et tu ne savais même pas que je serai la première personne à acheter un billet pour ton prochain concert à Paris. La vie est pleine de surprises!

[paigeschmidt]

I just found a treasure. My soul feels fed. Thank you!

[hllgrbz]

Sevgili Sami Yusuf, yorumumu ne kadar dikkate alırsın bilmiyorum ama, nezaketin, dünya enstrüman ve müzik bilgin, dünya etnik kültürüne verdiğin değer, ekip arkadaşların, ekip arkadaşlarına verdiğin değer, onları ön plana alman, güleç yüzün, mütevazi kişiliğin... Keşke bu hayatta seni bir kez canlı görebilsem, dinleyebilsem. Türkiye'den sevgilerimle...

[gvjygdw]

Шикарный концерт!!! Браво всем участникам!!!

[bassantarishasy]

Finally the moon is full! The whole party! My eyes cannot believe what they truly see. An hour and a few minutes of continuous creativity. Your voices arouse passion, and your melodies and your precious spiritual music. I cannot find an explanation that explains the extent of its holiness, its blessing, and its great glory that is spread across different cultures and the choir designed with the finest and most luxurious performance! @samiyusuf 😮👌🏻🥺😍😍

[zeehra.z]

Each of your works is like a bright pearl. They are so valuable that it is impossible to describe

[Ganjineh-Drisi]

زیبا و تحسین برانگیز- با زبان قلبها بدرون هر خانه وارد شدی راهت پویا و موفق.
. Beautiful and admirable, you entered the houses with the language of hearts, may you be dynamic and successful

[juratele]

As always, goosebumps and a whole scale of heightened emotions🤍So healing🙏
