Description

Musical cultures sometimes take on an unknown brilliance far from their nourishing source. The meeting in Marseille in 2016 between Shadi Fathi and Bijan Chemirani is one such precious spark, a fertile dialogue on the peaks of Persian music. Born in Tehran, Shadi Fathi trained with Ostad Dariush Talaï, a great master of Persian classical music, before establishing herself as an exceptional soloist through her virtuosity on the setâr and shourangiz, traditional string instruments. Bijan Chemirani has become a reference for the zarb, an ancient Iranian percussion instrument, alongside his father but also through multiple projects from France.
The duo today presents their first album, where classical inspirations and contemporary flashes blend in a rhythmic abundance conducive to improvisations, illuminated by readings of Persian poems, from Mowlana Rumi to Sohrab Sepehri. A delicate conversation conducted with sublime mastery.
