STORYLINE:
The 16th edition of the Samaa International Festival for Spiritual Music and Chanting opened late on Friday in Cairo.
The festival is running from Sept. 22 to 28, with activities held at El-Ghoury Dome Creativity Center in old Cairo and Bayt El-Sinnari (Sinnari House).
The event, with the slogan "The Message of Peace to the World" this year, brings about 30 troupes: several from Egypt alongside guests from Algeria, Djibouti, Pakistan, Romania, Greece, and Indonesia, among others.
The festival aims to show how music uplifts the soul and how it is the true language of humanity.

"The festival is wonderful and it is a window to the people who love art; besides, it is something elegant and free of charge. It respects humanity."

"The planning is good and a lot of people attend the event. The festival has a spiritual value, as you listen to Sufi songs that renew the spiritual breath of the audience. Actually, it is something pleasant and beautiful."
The festival is organized by the People's Cultures Arts and Dialogue Foundation in cooperation with the Egyptian Ministries of Culture, Tourism and Antiquities.
The Republic of the Congo is the country of honor of the festival's 16th edition.
