The Sufi Choir

Profile:

The Sufi Choir formed in 1969 among the followers of Samuel L. Lewis. Murshid Lewis died unexpectedly in January 1971. The Sufi Choir became to a large extent a response to his death. Their often ecstatic music was a transmission of Murshid’s Sufi-based mysticism, energy and universalism.
