The Meeting

Imagine this: 35º celcius, a warm breeze, the fragrance of the ocean … voices of people singing together - enjoying life as it is … they sing, chant, laugh and dance `till they drop!

Who are these people?

Call them Sufi´s - and Bahram-Ji is one of their number. He plays a magical instrument, the Persian Santoor, which - the Sufi’s say, creates the sound of emptiness. In addition, he is a fine singer, a channel for the divine … and a great cook!

Now imagine again: 35º celcius, disco lights, city-people, dancing close together … based in the urban jungle of Amsterdam, Maneesh de Moor is musician and producer, who specializes in the crossover between the ethnic and the ambient - the traditional and the contemporary … a magician, who brings the past into the present.

Different roots, but meeting in the same bliss, keyboard-wiz Maneesh and Sufi mystic Bahram-Ji jump together into the studio and created for us this most precious music. Made in deep respect for each other’s amazing talents, from the heart, with no compromise.

The lyrics are based on Rumi’s and other mystical poetry and the tracks carry an urban vibe rooted in meditation. A powerful concection.

They dedicate the album to ever increasing abundance love and world peace, to more friendship among tribes, to less war among brothers and ultimately to God itself. This is where their music comes from and this is the message they bring … Inshallah.
