Bachar Zarkan (بشار زرقان: Arabic ) is a Syrian musician, singer, and actor known for his Sufi music.

Early life

Zarkan spent much of his childhood in the quarter of Bab al-Salam in Damascus. When a teenager, he learned to play the ‘ud. His quest for creation enriched itself through his stay in France (1992-1997), his visits to several European countries and to the USA.

Theatre

Zarkan's theatrical experience started, in 1986, in the parts he played as both an actor and a singer.

Music for poetry

When he studied the Sound Theater at the Pygmalion Studio in France (1996), his aim was to deepen his understanding of the relationship between words, music, movement and rhythm. Now, he is interested in composing music for contemporary poetic texts that match the Sufi texts.
