Music is a force which crosses all artificial political, cultural and racial boundaries, unifying us all as human beings. My interest has always been in bringing together different styles to create original, fresh and uplifting music. This album combines Indian classical and devotional music with Jazz, Eastern European and Middle Eastern music and was recorded in Delhi, Mumbai, Wroclaw (Poland), Budapest (Hungary), San Francisco and Los Angeles. It features an outstanding cast of artists who through their talent bring the music to life. My deepest gratitude and thanks to the following musicians who made this project possible (in the order of appearance): Moses Sedler (cello); Asif Ali Khan (sarangi); Mukesh Sharma (sarod); Taufiq Qureshi (percussion); Dave Lewis (drums); Gari Hegedus (oud); Geetika Varde (vocals); Kai Eckhardt (bass); Yashoda (vocals); Robert Szydło (bass); Indu Prakash (vocals); Deepak Ram (bansuri); Zoltan Lantos (violin); Naushad Ahmed (tabla); Chand Khan (sitar).
May music bring you peace! Emam |
