Bio / Background
"No my dear dervish," whispered the soothsayer as he stared deep into my eyes, "you don't seem to comprehend. The will of God is akin to the wind, and we are the sand grains of the desert. He is the root of the action, not the action itself. We are not the action either but the expressions of the will."
Noticing my perplexed look, he proceeded:
"Have you ever seen the wind? Of course not. Why? Because it is just air. It is invisible. But you see the sand moving as the reverberation of the proximity of the wind. This is how life is. The magnificence of the wind is concealed ere it encounters the sand. The power of the sand is hidden prior to the arrival of the wind. The potency and grandeur are neither in the wind nor in the sand, But in their interaction. You don't dread the wind and you don't tremble at the sand, but you fear the sandstorm. That is the way life is, it is a blizzard, a sandstorm.

slow, but good enough for dance!

I discovered this album when a friend introduced me to the band Turku,, of which Farzad Farhangi is a part. I immediately picked up all the albums I could find! On this album, Tabassum is particularly beautiful, with a lovely rhythm. Waiting for Fatima is also a meditative and wonderful piece. Many of these tracks can be danced to, but not in the usual Egyptian bellydance style. There's one track here I particularly hate though. Juneh--it just doesn't fit.
