 (1 Customer Review)
Iranian singer Parissa was forced into lengthy sabbatical when the ayatollahs took over her country in 1979. Under their rule, female singers weren't allowed to perform. It wasn't until 1995 that she returned to the concert stages of the world. For this project she takes the work of the 13th century mystic and poet (and founder of the whirling dervishes) Rumi as the basis for her music. Parissa proves to be a remarkable, sometimes eerie singer, giving to classical Persian vocal improvisations on melodies and themes. She easily captures the listener's attention and holds it. You might not understand the language, but its deeper meanings are quite apparent. Each of the two CDs in the set is a continuous, flowing piece, using the poems not only of Rumi, but of three other mystics -- Hafiz, Sa'di, and Attar -- to create a potent, sometimes magical force of sound and words that easily transcends the everyday in its aim for the stars. ~ Chris Nickson
Recorded in Berlin, Germany on November 19 & 29, 2002.
Personnel: Parissa (vocals); Ensemble Dastan.

Shoorideh Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  female master of classical Persian music
Along with Sima Bina, you have 2 of the greatest living voices in Persian classical music. Don't me wrong, I'm an ignorant American and don't understand a word, but if Parissa's voice (backed by members of the ever-awesome Dastan Ensemble) doesn't touch your soul, then you lost it somewhere. One great thing with this release is the multi-lingual translations of the lyrics, from the timeless poetry of the sufi masters Rumi, Sa'di and Hafiz. A must-have addition to any classic Persian music collection, along with Gol-E Behesht.
The voices to seek: Parissa and Sima Bina for females, Nazeri and the Master, Shajarian, for males.

Purchase Shoorideh CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Ustad Vilayat Khan CD (1991)
Shoorideh album
 $11.49
There is something particularly captivating about Vilayat Khan's sitar voicings. His alluringly playful style is thick with deep and subtle variations. His rendering of the much recorded late-morning raga Bhairavi combines the tranquil depth of classical interpretations with the lighter sentimentality of the semi-classical thumri. Hidayat Khan is on tanpura. ~ Raissa St. Pierre, Original Music
sitar player offers his unique interpretation of the rare "Raga Bhankar", creating a modal spectacle, incorporating fleeting glances of many other related & unrelated ragas, feat. Akram Khan on tabla
Photographer: Lyle Wachovsky.
Personnel: Vilayat Khan (sitar, surbahar); Hidayat Khan (tanpura); Akram Khan (tabla).
Recording information: Master Sound Astoria, New York, NY (07/19/1991).

My name is Luis Canizares. I was born in Cuba. There, I was working in many vocal groups. When I arrived to the United States in 1992 I began to write many songs inspirated in all the family that I had leaved behind me in Cuba. I leaved there my wife and two child, that now they are living here in the United States, but It take to us 7 years to be together again. Now, I owm Certain Music Entertaiment, Inc, which have it's owm music Protools Studios and where I record many musicians and singers. At this time, all the lirics are in spanish but I hope make the crossover to English in the future.
