The ensemble wanted to acquire a repertoire from the entire Arab world. At the beginning the group consisted of only three instrumentalists.\u00a0The Egyptian Tar and Riqq player Adel Schams Eldin, Julien Weiss and the Syrian Nay player Ziad Kadhi Amin. Initially, the ensemble only played instrumental pieces. Julien Weiss later decided to expand the group.\u00a0He traveled to Syria and met with Sheikh Hamza Shakk\u00fbr, a well-known singer of classical music. Shakk\u00fbr was also the\u00a0head of the Sufi community of the whirling dervishes. In 1986, Weiss converted to Islam and settled in Aleppo. There he developed a collaboration between him and many singers of classical music from Iraq and Syria, such as Adib Dayikh and the Tunisian singer and musician Lotfi Bouchnak.[5]Musical style[edit]Accompanied by loud and longer devotional chanting, the group uses multiple instruments such as oud, spike fiddle, flute, percussion and zither to create a melodious symphony.[6] The music is often accompanied by whirling dervishes during their concerts such as Sahin Nasir from Istanbul, Maher and Hatem Al Jamal from Damascus, and Yahyah Hamami and Yousef Shreymo from Aleppo.[7][8]Musicians[edit]Instrumentists[edit]Julien Jal\u00e2l Eddine Weiss (died in 2015), qan\u00fbn player and director of the ensembleAdel Shams El Din , Egyptian master of the riqqMohamed Saada (died in 2005), Tunisian flutist and musicologist from NayAbd al Salam Safar (died 1999), master of Syrian taqsim and nay playerZyad Qadi-Amin, flutist from DamascusMohamed Qadri Dalal, Syrian master of the UdMohamed Gomar, Iraqi master of the djozaOzer Ozel, the lute master from TurkeyAlem Kasimov, master of the Azerbaijani tarMehmet Refik Kaya, Turkish master of the Sufi and Ottoman rababOsman Oksuzoglu, Turkish master of Ottoman kud\u00fcmSingers[edit]The Al-Kind\u00ee Ensemble has welcomed many solo singers since 1990 including:Sheikh Hamza Shakk\u00fbr (died in 2008)Sabri Moudallal, composer of religious song from the great mosque of AleppoAd\u00eeb Al-D\u00e2yikh (died in 2000), ghazal reciter from AleppoSheikh Habboush, the leader of the zawiya qaderiya Sufi brotherhood from AleppoOmar Sarmini, Syrian master of the qasidahHuseyn Ismail Al Azami, master of the classical Maqam from BaghdadDogan Dikmen, Ottoman classical singer and professor at Yeldiz University and member of the TRT orchestra in IstanbulBekir Buyukbas, hafiz and muezzin of the Sultan Fethi mosque in IstanbulLotfi Bouchnak, malouf singer from TunisConstantin Angelidis, from Athens, GreeceDiscography[edit](1988) Arab Classical Music, instrumental trio with Mohamed Saada(1993) Classical Songs from Tunisia and the Middle East, with Lotfi Bouchnak(1994) Syria: Takasim & Sufi Chants From Damaskus with Hamza Shakk\u00fbr(1995) The Passion of the Thousand and One Nights with Husayn Ismail Al-Azami(1995) Sufi Songs from Damascus with Hamza Shakk\u00fbr(1998) The Aleppian Music Room with Sabri Moudallal and Omar Sarmini(1999) The Whirling Dervishes of Damascus with Hamza Shakk\u00fbr(2001) The Crusades – Tribute to Prince Ousama Ibn al Mounqidh with Omar Sarmini(2003) Aleppian Sufi Transe with Sheikh Habboush(2006) Ottoman Perfumes with Dogan Dikmen and Omar Sarmini(2011) Arab Music From The Time Of The Crusaders with Omar SarminiReferences[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/al-kindi-ensemble-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Al-Kindi Ensemble – Wikipedia"}}]}]
