Between tradition and modernity

Nine Heavens (CD)

Customer Review

As stated in the booklet, the ambition of Niyaz is to convey the rich tradition of their region by updating it. They sing traditional Turkish and Persian poetry in particular, and use traditional instruments passed through the electronics filter.
Refresh tradition may seem an oxymoron. In this case, it seems not. The tradition is very present and very current musical production makes it more accessible to Westerners (and the world) of the twenty-first century.
And they had the good idea to include on the second disc acoustic versions of eight of the nine pieces that make up the first. It is then very close to the tradition (profane speech). And thus further measure the quality of the compositions and orchestrations living very well without their electronic accompaniment, which had also managed to remain discreet.
On the cover, the singer Azam Ali plays the Gothic, and this dimension also seems present in their music. It's pretty hovering, even a little new age, so a little overpowering with time. But it is a very beautiful album.

Horny and good service Rank: 5/5
