Persian mysticism blends with flamenco. Original compositions inspired by the poetry of Sohrab Sepehri, Hafez, and Rumi and the Persian roots of Spanish flamenco.
Bio / Background
In this album, Iranian-American composer, santur virtuoso, and vocalist, Roya Bahrami introduces an original approach in how music, vocals, and poetry carry a dialogue; in some instances in a counterpoint; at other times in a sequential scheme.
In her solo virtuoso pieces, Bahrami creates a minimalist approach to improvisations in Persian modes providing a contemplative space covering the main themes of the mode while staying within the range of a normal song’s length thereby making the spiritual and emotional essence of this ancient music accessible to a wider world music audience.
Furthermore, Bahrami introduces a new art form, creating a duet for santur and chant performed by the same musician.
And yet another novelty lies in the way she uses various elements of the Spanish flamenco tradition in her compositions leading to a new genre Persian-Flamenco fusion, available in the various tracks of the album.
