I've started working some of my photographs taken during a sufi ceremony in Fes. Sufism is a mystical side of Islam, especially popular in countries like Morocco and Senegal but can be find in asuch a place like Turkey, Indian and Pakistan for instance. During the ceremony, the Hmadcha brotherhood played for around a two hours in order to bring Barakah to the family (means happiness and blessing). In their dancing, people mimic the rocking movement of the music, rhythm and singing causing people going into a trance. As the ceremony progresses the music become more intense.
