IV. HAFT NAVA

Music from another world with the Javid Ensemble & Vahid Taj & Daniel Lazar & Samani Brothers
Rhythms and melodies that tell their own story. Sounds that touch, rustle, whisper, knock, ring like bells, jingle a thousand times, sob, gallop, caress, whirl, intoxicate...

Javid Ensemble
The Javid Afsari Rad Ensemble was founded in 2007 and consists of the Persian instrument santur, a string quartet, a double bass player and a percussionist. The ensemble released its first album in 2007 as the "Rumi Ensemble". They play compositions by Javid that are inspired by Persian, Indian and Arabic musical traditions, but also by Western classical music.
