Latif Bolat is a very interesting individual. He is a wealth of information, and can educate any individual about about their country. His influence from Sufi has made him very effective artist. I was very pleased with his capability to incorporate improvisations in his performance. He stated that he could go for hours in a single performance so as to allow an individual to achieve spiritual perfection. I especially like how he allowed the audience to participate in some of his performances. Of importance is the fact that he used music stemming from a negative association - one that has a sad background - and still was able to stimulate a good mood in the audience. This begs the question; can one achieve spiritual perfection from sad music also? This question arise because Sufi mystics should first reach a status of inner peace before they should make a composition, yet Latif Bolat's performance was sad and still could stimulate a trance. Pushing the audience closer to said spiritual perfection.
