Music therapy or Zar ritual

What is Zar Ritual?

Zar ritual is a kind of exorcism (or somehow conjuring) with focus on music therapy. One can even consider it as a mystic ritual. Participants try to drive the sinister winds out of the person who has been trapped. This is done by playing music, singing local songs and continuous clapping. In the cultures of the Horn of Africa and adjacent regions of the Middle East, Zār (Arabic: زار‎, Ge’ez: ዛር) is the term for a demon or spirit assumed to possess individuals, mostly women, and to cause discomfort or illness. The so-called zār ritual or zār cult is the practice of exorcizing such spirits from the possessed individual. read more on the wiki.
