About MTO Zendeh Delan:
Zendeh Delan, which translates to “awakened hearts,” is a group of dedicated Sufism students who have united to share their profound experiences through music. Guided by Professor Nader Angha, the Sufi Master of MTO Shahmaghsoudi® School of Islamic Sufism®, they have created contemporary Sufi music merging traditional Sufi melodies and Persian musical modes with global influences.
The Zendeh Delan ensemble’s repertoire is as diverse as its instruments, seamlessly pairing traditional Sufi melodies with Western musical elements, transcending cultural boundaries. The poetry within Zendeh Delan’s music originates from the volumes of Sufi poetry penned by the Sufi Masters of MTO®, including Hazrat Shahmaghsoud Sadegh Angha and Hazrat Salaheddin Ali Nader Angha, providing a rich tapestry of wisdom and love.
Delve even deeper into the sacred practice of sama, meaning “musical audition” in the Sufi tradition, a transformative experience where you hear, see, and become in harmony with the Divine Lord’s calling, resulting in pure joy and spiritual awakening.
Zendeh Delan has been practicing sama under the direct guidance of Professor Nader Angha.
