Release Notes
"In the life of the Sufi music is as important as air for breathing. Music is
a power in our life,
a large gift in a universal language, which feeds our spirit and tells
stories."
(Bahramji)
,Sufi Safir" is Bahrams second album released by Blue Flame Records. The
Songs on this album were born in India and developed further in Holland and
Denmark.
Working with Danish DJ Mashti, this album is a special combination between
the ancient and traditional, connecting it with the modern and technical. If
asked, Bahram says about the origin of his music: "It is simply spontaneous
and comes from the heart, it develops out of the moment."
The second part of the album title ,Safir" has the Persian meaning of
,traveller". Thus the album, translated, carries the title ,a Sufi, always
travelling." which is leaning onto Bahrams own past life as a Sufi. His
journeys also gave inspirations for this album. Influences from ancient,
traditional Sufi melodies as well as Kurdish and Indian sounds are found on
the album. The multi-layers of Bahrams music reflects itself also in the texts
about wisdoms and experiences, which go back to old Persian mystics and poets
such as Saadi, Rumi, Attar or Hafez.
The album transports an unbelievable strength and energy. It is somewhat
magical. Most tracks are led by a slow, very deep, driving and almost hypnotic
bass line. These beats are important to Bahram. ,Beats symbolize the rhythm of
life, the rhythm of the body, the heart", he says. The deep tones are embedded
into wonderfully percussive elements and are accompanied by the charming
sounding Santoor (string instrument) and the Ney (flute). Through this, a
second level is opened in the songs, which create an unbelievable listening
experience.
Bahram would like to dedicate this work to his good friend Kritiji. It was he
who brought Bahram to Ibiza in the year 2003 and introduced him to all
musicians and friends. From this time on, much began to develop: The
acquaintances with DJ's, live performances and finally the various influences
on Bahrams music. His traditional way mixed itself with Ethno, Chill and
Ambient. Through this circumstance, music as recorded on this album, is the
result.
