CD RELEASE - Golden Melodies, A Musical Journey from Central Asia
Posted by: Kay Kara <knowledge4d@gmail.com>
Golden Melodies seeks to promote cultural understanding and increased
dialogue through words & melodies inspired by mystical poets such as
Rumi and his universal message of love which is at the heart of these
compositions. UNESCO has declared 2007 as the Year of Rumi.
A musical journey from Central Asia, Golden Melodies Vol.1 is a blend
of new and classical poetry, traditional yet innovative.
The idea of sharing the Central Asian poetry and melodies came during
the producer, Karima Kara's memorable five-year journey in the
mountain valleys of Badakshan, Tajikistan, where she was involved in
educational programs with the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN).
Many have contributed to this recording including the Afghan community
in Canada, helping in the documentation and preservation of these
precious words and melodies.
You can visit www.iExpressions.ca to order copies of the CD and to see
the photos of Karima's journey in Tajikistan and in the Hunza Valley
while sampling some audio clips from the CD.
