Ben Tzur is a Jewish Israeli musician who composes Sufi poetry in Hebrew and plays it to qawwālī music, the traditional North Indian Sufi music. Ben Tzur's songs are devotional and there are many Sufi references that invoke Islamic terminology. His music has been reviewed in numerous newspapers and his Jewish identity, coupled with Sufi themes, evokes questions regarding religious belonging. Even though Ben Tzur openly discusses Sufi influences, his music has remained uncontroversial. This article interprets this as a sign that the symbolic repertoire of Ben Tzur's music evokes associations with India and not with Islam and more specifically with India as a spiritual rather than religious space. The image of India as a spiritual land manages to subsume references to Islam and render them part of the "mystical East" allowing Ben Tzur's audience to consume Muslim themes outside Middle Eastern politics.}, language = {en} } @misc{MarksMuschHaussigetal.2018, author = {Marks, Richard G. and Musch, Sebastian and Haußig, Hans-Michael and Weiss, Aleš and Albeck-Gidron, Rachel and Sigalow, Emily and Ariel, Yaakov S. and Niculescu, Mira and Landau, David and Rageth, Nina and Ichikawa, Hiroshi and Rohland, Eva and Czendze, Oskar and Reich, Tamar Chana and Schulz, Michael Karl and Arnold, Rafael D. and Anderl, Gabriele and Gempp-Friedrich, Tilmann and Liu, Yongqiang and Battenberg, J.
