Honoured to have performed and premiered 'Karitas' alongside the brilliant Cappella Amsterdam, Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, and my own ensemble. These pieces—Karitas, Veritas, The Fire Within and more—were the result of months of composition, orchestration, and scoring. How wonderful to see and hear them come to life!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone, especially all of you who travel from near and far to attend my concerts.

With love and gratitude,

A beautiful moment from ‘L’Amour Vivant’. It was an honour to have my composition premiered and performed so masterfully at this second edition of ‘When Paths Meet’ held at the iconic Philharmonie de Paris in Paris, FRANCE.

Dear Friends,

After much thought and careful consideration, I’ve come to a decision regarding the release of my new album. This body of work, which has taken nearly a decade to create, is far too profound and significant to simply be ‘dropped’ as is often done. It is an undertaking that carries a deep weight, both musically and spiritually, and deserves a release that honours that.

Rather than unveiling the album all at once, I want you to experience ‘Ecstasy’ as an unfolding story, piece by piece, chapter by chapter. Each individual composition has been crafted with care, meant to be savoured and appreciated in its own time. I believe releasing the works one by one is the best way for you as listeners to fully immerse yourselves in its journey.

This is, without a doubt, my most important work to date, and I want to ensure that it’s experienced in the way it is truly meant to be. Thank you for your patience, your support, and for accompanying me on this journey.

More info to follow soon.

With love and best wishes,

Sami 💛

‘Ven Mi Alma’ is a piece that is incredibly dear to my heart. It’s a celebration of world music traditions, blending Western and Eastern classical music with the rich heritage of Central Asia, the Middle East, and the spirit of Al-Andalus—a time when the Iberian Peninsula thrived as a beacon of knowledge, coexistence, and artistic brilliance.

The piece opens with the captivating voice of Israel Moro, instantly transporting us to Andalusia, where its essence is immediately felt. The soulful call of the ney, performed beautifully by Tolga Saracoglu, speaks directly to the soul, while Antoine’s beautiful performance on classical guitar maintains the pulse of the entire composition. Fiery and spirited flamenco guitars by José Manuel Léon and Tarik Hilal then join, infusing the piece with vibrant energy.

A beautiful dialogue unfolds between the Balaban, played by Maqsad Azizov, and the orchestra, creating a profound exchange that continues until we reach a symphony of voices. Led by myself, alongside the incredible talents of Nabyla Maan, Ismail Boujia, and Israel Moro, this vocal section becomes an expression of unity in diversity. Though each voice is distinct, there is an underlying, unseen essence that binds us all—a shared soul that transcends individual expression.

What follows is a dreamlike passage, where the Balaban and guitars gently lead the listener into a state of transcendence, evoking a deep sense of peace. The culmination of "Ven Mi Alma" is an ecstatic dance between the Balaban and the orchestra, a call and response that celebrates the unity of all musical traditions and the profound dialogue of the soul.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who came to Fes, Morocco, for the 2024 Fes Festival of Sacred Music, where tickets were sold out months in advance. It was an honor to perform and debut these pieces at such a significant event. I’m very selective with my performances, and this one will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you again, and more to follow soon.

I’m extremely delighted to announce my new release, ‘ALMA’. This album is dear to my heart, and it’s been a true honor to work with all the brilliant musicians who have poured their hearts into these compositions.

Performed live at the historic Bab Al Makina in Fez (Morocco) at the Fes Festival, ‘ALMA’ is a celebration of the rich and diverse cultures of World Music Traditions, the soulful rhythms of Flamenco, and the timeless beauty of Western and Eastern Classical Music. It honors the legacy of the great poets and sages of history, bringing their profound wisdom into the very essence of the music.

I’m deeply grateful to the exceptional musicians and soloists who have joined me on this journey: Nabyla Maan from the historic city of Fez, whose connection to the music adds a special resonance to this album; Ismail Boujia from Morocco, whose evocative voice brings depth to every note; Israel Moro from Andalusia, Spain, embodying the heart of Flamenco; José Manuel Léon on flamenco guitar from Andalusia, Spain; Antoine Morinière on classical guitar from Paris, France; Magsad Azizov on balaban from Baku, Azerbaijan; and Mohammad Jaberi on daf, joining us from London, UK.

A heartfelt thank you to all the other wonderful musicians joining us from Turkey, Germany, Iran and from Morocco itself. As with any composition, the music is only as good as the team performing it, and I’m deeply grateful for the countless hours of rehearsals and dedication they have put into bringing this album to life.

Performing live is always a challenge, and every musician listening will know just how difficult it is to perform well. I’m delighted with the final outcome of ‘ALMA’.

I also want to extend my gratitude to Arash Pakzad and Vishnu Rajan for their exceptional work in mixing this live album so beautifully.

Thank you so much, and I hope you enjoy listening to ‘ALMA’. With love and gratitude,

Sami Yusuf
