Tarab: from the Arabic "to stir up", "ecstasy" or "enchantment", usually during musical performance

Taarab Birth: Birth as a musically-induced journey, which, when left undisturbed, can stir up a trance-like state, full of ecstasy and enchantment and where a deep sense of empowerment can ultimately be experienced.
