Ibn Gabirol: Knight of the Word

Eduardo Paniagua and Grian

Book + CD

For centuries, the Sufi mystics used listening music and poetry to facilitate their entry into the ecstasy and rapture. They called this "technique" as sama'.

And this is what the mediaeval musician Eduardo Paniagua (awarded as the Best Classical Artist in the Spanish Academy of Music Awards 2009) and Grian (expert in the mysticism and author of the bestseller The Gardener) have tried to offer with their book-disc collection The Science of Love, a compilation of samas, with mystical poems of different spiritual traditions, accompanied by the music of their own culture. A beautiful combination that carries in it a deep emotional charge.

Pneuma and Editorial Almuzara

Ibn Gabirol was an Andalusian Jew poet, philosopher and mystic who, despite his early death, left behind poems of a deep beauty, loaded with uncompromising prophetic wisdom of the Jewish people. This master of the Science of Love may be a fellow traveler, a witness, a helper to you can get inside yourself, against inner emptiness that produces the modern obsession with being out of oneself or closed in oneself.

And nothing better for these poems than the Sephardic music, played by Eduardo Paniagua, Jorge Rozemblum and Wafir Sheik (a Christian, a Jew and a Muslim, promising combination!) with lead vocals by Jorge Rozemblum in songs and recitation of Grian, a company that you can see, listen and feel in a live poetic concert that these four artists are offering now in Spain.
