heyraneh Promise to Freedom

In this new album, Heyraneh draws from ancient sacred melodies of people of Iran, Kurdistan,
Azerbaijan & Armenia,
intervowen with Persian mystic poetry .
Every song is focused on the root intention of
Sufi thought, Yar - the Beloved.  

Dynamic, ecstatic, spacious & transcendental this album is an adventure whose destination is the same, whether listening in the car, on your yoga mat or at home. 

Heyraneh sings and performs on Tanbur, a Kurdish lute.  Special guest performer Techung lends his Tibetan style to the title song “Promise to Freedom”.

Heyraneh's music belongs to the tradition of “transce-formance”* rather than performance. This ancient tradition belongs to musical gatherings with the intention of transcending the form into a healthier, refined and blissful state .
There is no separation between the musicians and the guests. Everyone is an active participant by moving, chanting or meditating with the music.
The flavor of her music embodies the passionate and ecstatic nature of the melodies and rhythms of Sufis and Ashiqs.
