Details

Bahramji and Mashti look back on a longlasting cooperation and friendship with their new album Divaneh after Sufi Safir and Sufiyan.On the journey to the album Divaneh Bahramji took his inspiration from his childhood memories in old Persian Kurdistan and Mashti was inspired by Indian music and his fundamental desire for inner peace.Three titles are based on Kurdish songs and nursery rhymes (Celebration, Zibah and Dooset Daram) and complemented with texts by the mystic Sufi Poet Rumi.The excitement of this collaboration is to unite tradition and modernity. This fusion demonstrates how music of different foreign cultures blends together with Kurdish Persian music and Indian music without giving itself up. Each area, be it the lyrics, instruments or the voice of Bahramji have found their own place in Divaneh.The santoor, a traditional Persian stringed instrument, as well as text fragments from the Persian poets Rumi, Attar, Saadi and Havez, together with the voice of Bahramji along with modern ethno grooves, define the sound of this production.Both musicians come from very different musical cultures, Mashti from Denmark, where he works as a DJ and producer. Bahramji, whose instrument, the santoor and alo his voice is, now lives in Holland and Ibiza has a long and distinguished career as a musician. However, he was born in Iran.
