In the rhythm of music, a SECRET is hidden. If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world.
— Jalāl ad-Dīn Rumi, a Sufi mystic
Secret (2021) is an on-spot improvisation by Mirco Mungari, an Italian master of the frame drums, performing on a LUTHIEROS ancient bendir. The name of the melody is inspired by the enigmatic words of a great Sufi mystic, world-renowned as Rumi.
We traveled all the way to Italy, and especially Bologna, to film several video sessions with the gifted percussionist. Mirco implements in his performances many unique playing techniques coming from all over the world and even different time eras; from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, up to modern days.
