Leyli : Iran - Chants Sacrés Kurdes (2002)

"The Razbar ensemble was founded in 1997 Their objective was to preserve and revive the music, songs and traditions of the Ahl-e Haqq.The group takes its name from Saint Razbar, mother of Soltan Sahâk, the founder of this path 700 years ago. All members of the group are deeply connected to this tradition. They consider their songs, melodies, rhythms and dances to be a form of devotion into which they pour their heart and soul. The heritage that Razbar intends to preserve, revitalize and share with the public, presents itself in two aspects: the profane and the sacral. Razbar’s program consists of folkloric dances and polyrhythmic compositions for percussion instruments (daf) on the one hand, and sacral vocal and instrumental music, performed either within or outside of its ritual context, on the other."
