Bahramji · Mystical Poetry Music

Bahram was born in Persia and has spent half his life in India. His art is a special combination between the ancient and traditional music with modern electronic, creating a meditative sphere to uplift body and soul. Most of the lyrics of his songs are based on Rumi’s and other mystical poetry. Bahram’s instrument is the Persian Santoor, a traditional string instrument, which is said to create the sound of emptiness. Besides the Santoor, he plays the Persian Settar and the Ney, a Persian bamboo flute.

Kareem Raïhani · Ecstatic Dance

His music is fueled by the philosophy that dance music can create a certain kind of universal understanding, love and wisdom. He is the cocreator, together with Praful, of the dance project RED FULKA.

While fusing global sounds to his musical voyage, he’s still bringing in a wide variety of musical influences, always keeping his eye on creating that special moment when your body is dancing, you’ve forgotten time, your head flies away and the trance kicks in.

Kareem’s hunger for new inspirations find him traveling through his Moroccan roots, out into a voyage through the labyrinths of world music. Taking full advantage of his knowledge of western sounds and production techniques, the result is a dynamic fusion of raw tumbling beats as the inspirational rhythms and voices of the world meet the innovations of technology.
