Band - Sharham and Hafez Nazeri

Album - The Passion of Rumi

Now that Americans proved themselves to not be all about freedom of speech with that ridiculous introduction of the Iranian president by Columbia University president Lee Bollinger with utterly shameful lampooning, will they be man enough to at least admit that Iranian based music is pretty damn amazing? Hopefully the timeless Sufi messages celebrating the 800th anniversary of 13th century poet Rumi’s birth contained within “The Passion of Rumi” will convince a few to pay attention. A bastion of Persian music delight, Sharham and Hafez Nazeri are one of the greatest exports out of Tehran these days. Intriguing enough they applaud a poet whose lyrics and words took the place of music when strict Islamic law was put into place by giving a firm nod in Rumi’s direction. Nice. 09/21/07 >> go there
