interoduces its “message for peace”, a truly unique musical experience by combining Coptic hymns and acappella choir singing with Egyptian and Indonesian Islamic chanting. The samaa group, is a wonderful example of how
different cultures and religions can come together.
Intessar Abdel Fattah
Sessions :أُصلى فى باحة مفتوحة للسماء،
مستقبلاً الشرق فى الفجر والغرب فى الغسق،
حتى ينفتح الكون امامي،
ويستقبل الكون كله اصوات تسابيحى
انفتحى أيتها الأرض العظيمة
وأمسكى بهمسات أوراقك أيتها الأشجار
فانا أهم بالترنم بمدائح الواحد الكل ..
من متون هرمس
( التراث الفرعونى)
Praying unto an open Sky,
Where the East is nourishing the soul at dawn
And the West is fulfilling the senses at dusk
Continuing to pray until the whole universe opens its arms to behold my voice and hear my prayers:
Open up Great Earth
And behold you trees
The whispers of the fluttering leaves
For I am humming a tune of worship and praise
In the name of the One and the Great!!
(from our great Pharonic Heritage)
