Few musical traditions move me the way Turkish traditional music does. There is a sophistication and a soulfulness to it that I have admired my entire life.This September, I’ll be performing a special rendition of Zâhid Bizi Ta’n Eyleme — a piece that means a great deal to me. I cannot wait to share it with you in Türkiye. 💛🙏🎟️ biletinial.com/tr-tr/muzik/sami-yusuf—Türk geleneksel müziği beni derinden etkileyen nadir müzik geleneklerinden biridir. Tüm hayatım boyunca hayranlık duyduğum bir incelik ve ruh derinliği taşır.Bu Eylül, Zâhid Bizi Ta’n Eyleme’nin özel bir yorumunu seslendireceğim — benim için çok anlamlı bir eser. Türkiye’de sizinle paylaşmak için sabırsızlanıyorum. 💛🙏🎟️ biletinial.com/tr-tr/muzik/sami-yusufSami Yusuf

Twenty years on, and Hasbi Rabbi continues to move people in ways I could never have anticipated.Its secret, perhaps, is that it was never mine alone — it belongs to a tradition far older and deeper than any single composition. What is truly rooted does not age.It is one of those pieces I never tire of performing — and I cannot wait to bring it to Türkiye this September💛📍 Ankara — 23 & 24 September, 9:00 PM — ATO Congresium📍 Istanbul — 27 & 28 September, 9:00 PM — Istanbul Congress Center (ICC), Harbiye Auditorium🎟️ https://biletinial.com/tr-tr/muzik/sami-yusuf#samiyusuf #rooted #hasbirabbi #worldmusictraditionsSami Yusuf

Delighted to share the video release of ‘Eterna (Between Two Seas)’ — filmed live at Yenikapı, Istanbul, before 25,000 souls, with over eighty musicians as well as members of the Fons Sophia Collective.This performance holds a special place for me. We brought many of the pieces from ‘Ecstasy’ to a live audience for the very first time — a full year before the album’s release. ‘Eterna’ was one of those pieces. And as always, the live version carries something the studio cannot fully contain: a rawness, a presence, a life entirely its own.The words belong to two poets separated by centuries yet moved by the same fire — San Juan de la Cruz and Yunus Emre. That these voices found each other on a stage in Istanbul felt, to me, quietly inevitable.And a particular word of gratitude to Isra Moro, for his beautiful vocals.Watch now https://sy.lnk.to/EternaWith love, SYSami Yusuf

This piece was born in Baku — premiered at Timeless Presence, in partnership with UNESCO — and carried something of that city’s ancient soul into every performance since. Istanbul, 2025, marked only its second time performed live. Before 25,000 people, sold out, in one of the most musically alive cities in the world.On this night, it was brought to life by musicians of rare sensitivity and skill:Yakup Selim Şenel — TanburElvin Novruzov — KamanchaMehmet Ömer Aşçıoğlu — Classical KemencheYunus Emre — NeyMagsad Azizov — Balaban & MijwizZaki Valiyev — TarTogether with the rest of the Fons Sophiae Collective, they gave everything.To the audience that night — and to the Turkish audience more broadly — I want to say something I mean with complete sincerity: you are among the most discerning, most musically sophisticated audiences in the world. To be heard by you, truly heard,Sami Yusuf

‘Amada’ is now available.Filmed live at Festival Park Yenikapı during the ‘Ecstasy: Between Two Seas’ concert, this composition by Sami Yusuf explores the soul’s surrender into the Divine. Rooted in the mystical poetry of San Juan de la Cruz, the performance captures a journey from symphonic richness to a visceral acoustic meditation.Listen/Watch: https://sy.lnk.to/Amada-Live#samiyusuf #amadaSami Yusuf

Out Now: BEINGThere are moments in music where instruments fall silent, and voice becomes the entire landscape. ‘Being’ is one of those moments for me. Performed by the extraordinary Voces8, this piece lives through the human voice alone. The only line, ‘nothing is real, but the Real,’ is carried with such delicacy and depth that their individual voices emerge as one living sound. Working with Voces8 was a gift. They brought exactly the celestial dimension I was seeking in this composition. This is pure voice. Pure listening. Pure being.Composed and Arranged by Sami Yusuf Vocals: Sami Yusuf Choir: Voces8From the album ECSTASY.
