It's very interesting to see how the masters/lineage holders, have dealt with secular performances, including 'mock possession' where the trance movements are mimicked as a dance, and the ordering of repertoire is broken up to keep meanings hidden to the public:pic.twitter.com/da46TpiY3O

Sum notes that the music created in 'secular spaces' is changing; where the m‘allem don't have to adhere to ceremonial norms, and they have the freedom to express for aesthetic pleasure. Interesting that both contexts/goals value the m‘allem's ability to transport listeners.pic.twitter.com/L4UDY98rxX
