Sobilale (Praise to Bilal)
This track begins with a reference to Hazrat Bilal, the freed black African slave who was the first Muslim muezzin to recite the call to prayer for the Prophet Mohammad. The text is closely derived from Swahili or Bantu. (Source: Sidi Sufis: Aftican Indian Mystics of Gujarat - CD liner notes by Amy Catlin-Jairazbhoy)
