DHAMĀL is a percussion-led Sufi rhythm gathering rooted in South Punjabi and Sindhi traditions, where listening naturally spills into movement. The evening begins with a focused set- Sufi voice, dhol, tabla, and trumpet- before opening into a shared space (open jam) shaped by repetition, pulse, and collective energy.

Learn about Global Voices 9/19 at @delightfactorynyc

The workshop takes place in two parts. In part one, @umerpiracha will lead us in his workshop “The Unheld Note”.

The Unheld Note is a participatory workshop using Sufi vocal practice, breath, silence, and deep listening to restore forms of attention that contemporary life steadily erodes. Moving between sound and stillness, participants explore what happens when we stop trying to interpret, optimize, or resolve experience- and instead become receptive to what can only be felt before it is named.

Following this 700 year-old tradition, we travel to the Ukraine, where @walking_singing will guide us through Ukrainian folk singing traditions.

Ever wondered how Ukrainian village polyphony works? In this workshop, we’ll learn traditional multipart songs and ritual songs while exploring the techniques that make these communal harmonies so distinctive.

@melaclossvoice will lead vocal warm-ups before each section. Sit on the floor with your shoes off in the beautiful Delight Factory and experience voice in ways both new and old.

Arrive by 4:30 to experience Sufi vocal music.
Arrive by 6 to experience Ukrainian vocal music.
Or stay for the whole journey! Drinks available for purchase.

NEW DATE! Sometimes, artists' schedules change for happy reasons. Violinist and meditation guide Carson Marshall is getting married! As a result, we are shifting the date of his Sufi Buddhist Fusion Soundbath with vocalist Umer Piracha to early November. This musical meditation is a great introduction for beginners. Before we all get comfortable on our yoga mats and melt into the floor, there will be a conversation between Umer and Pastor Marisa Egerstrom of the Florence Congregational Church about how he makes sense of centuries-old musical and spiritual traditions - Sufi wisdom and Buddhist practice - in his own modern life.
All tickets for the September date have been and we hope to see you in November! Details and tickets on our website >> www.bombyx.live
