EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the rich cultural tapestry of Istanbul, Turkey, during the late Ottoman Empire era, a comic musician captivates his audience with the enchanting melodies of the ancient Setar. Circa 1902, this photograph offers a glimpse into the mystical world of Sufi gatherings, held at the Khaneqahs or monastic houses of dervishes. The Setar, also known as the Sehtar or Setouyeh, is an ancient and gnostic stringed instrument, believed to evoke a sense of spiritual elevation and trance-like state in its listeners. The musician's playful expression and the jovial atmosphere of the gathering contrast the deep spiritual significance of the music and the sacred space. The Setar, with its long neck and three main strings, is intricately designed and requires great skill to play. Its melodies, rooted in the Sufi tradition, have been passed down through generations and continue to captivate audiences to this day. The Khaneqahs were essential gathering places for Sufis, providing a space for spiritual practice, learning, and community. These spaces were often located in secluded areas, away from the bustling city, and were characterized by their peaceful and contemplative atmosphere. The musician in this photograph adds a touch of humor and joy to the otherwise solemn and introspective environment, highlighting the balance between the serious and the playful in Sufi culture. This photograph offers a unique window into the past, showcasing the vibrant and diverse cultural heritage of Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire. The comic musician and his Setar serve as a reminder of the power of music to transcend boundaries, bring people together, and evoke emotions that resonate across time and space.
