Maria Silva is a name that is quickly becoming synonymous with soulful and inspiring music. This young and talented singer from Venezuela has been wowing audiences around the world with her unique blend of reggae and jazz, which she infuses with her own personal style and flair.
Recently, Maria has been exploring new musical territory by delving into the world of poetry. Her latest project involves singing selections from "The Poetry of the Afghans," a collection of poems translated by H.G. Raverty in 1868. Specifically, she has been drawn to the works of the Sufi poet Æabd-ur-Raḥmān, whose words have inspired generations with their depth and beauty.
Sufi poet Æabd-ur-Raḥmān is famous for his spiritual and mystical poetry, which explores themes such as love, faith, and devotion to God. He was a prominent figure in the Sufi tradition, which is a mystical form of Islam that emphasizes the inner search for the divine. His poetry reflects the Sufi belief that the ultimate goal of human life is to attain union with God through spiritual purification and enlightenment. The beauty and depth of Æabd-ur-Raḥmān's poetry have made him one of the most celebrated Sufi poets, and his works continue to inspire people around the world to this day.
One of the poems that has caught Maria's attention is a powerful declaration of faith and trust in God:
"Not that His unity and individuality proceed from impuissance;
For, in His one and unique nature, He is infinite, unlimited.
They have neither need nor necessity of the friendship of others,
Unto whom my God is beneficently and graciously inclined.
Wherefore then the occasion that I should seek Him elsewhere,
Since, in mine own dwelling, my God is ever at my side?"
These words speak to Maria's own personal journey and the struggles that she has faced in her life. Through her music, she hopes to inspire others to find their own faith and to trust in the infinite power of the divine.
For Maria, music and poetry are inseparable. She believes that the words and rhythms of poetry are meant to be sung, and that through music, they can come alive in a way that transcends language and culture. Her performances are a testament to this belief, as she weaves together the rhythms of reggae and jazz with the soulful words of Æabd-ur-Raḥmān.
Maria's commitment to her craft and her passion for music have made her a rising star in the music world. With her latest project, she is poised to take the world by storm and to bring the poetry of the Sufism to a whole new audience. Her unique blend of reggae, jazz, and poetry is sure to captivate audiences and inspire a new generation of music lovers.
