JAWA is a musical ensemble dedicated to preserving and reinterpreting Aleppo’s
Sufi musical heritage, a tradition of profound spiritual and artistic depth
threatened by the Syrian war. The rich musical Sufi tradition has been transmitted
orally in Aleppo for decades. Nowadays, the Sufi masters who kept the secrets of
this musical tradition are gradually disappearing from the scene, threatening to
lose a treasure of songs forever.
