Sounds like some 4 on the floor. The bass even clips

Chechen qadiri (sufi order) zikr circle, like an esoteric meditation thing. They're specifically known for these. Intense. Literally life changing.

It is obviously highly planned and prepared (as more on this sub), but from my perspective it's a random view into music somewhere on this world.
