Latif Bolat (2016) 02

16th December 2016 at the Yunus Emre Enstitüsü, London W1.

"Healing Sounds of Ancient Turkey: A Celebration of Rumi's Urs" (free event).

Country: Turkey (United States resident). Style: Turkish Sufi Music - Bektashi & Alevi.

Lineup: Latif Bolat (v/saz).

Latif Bolat is from Mersin on the coast of southern Turkey and spent many decades in California before returning to his hometown. It was in the USA around 30 years ago that, inspired by the music of the Sabri Brothers, he made the transition from Opera singer to Sufi musician. He visits the UK fairly regularly (though I have only seen him once before, in 2005 at SOAS at an Ed Emery organised event). This time he was undertaking a short tour to celebrate the anniversary of Mawlânâ' Rûmî’s Urs, the anniversary of his union with the Beloved (he died on the 17th Dec 1273 in Konya, Turkey). He started with a talk giving the geopolitical background to Turkish Sufism. He then performed works by poets such as Yunus Emre and Niyazi Misri. Often inviting a member of the audience to read out an English translation beforehand.
