AHOUYE VAHSHI, lyrics by Hafez (14th Cen.)

Un chant d’amour qui complaint les séparations : Où es-tu, oh, mon gazelle sauvage? J’ai tant d’amour et d’affection pour toi… Viens pour nous prenions soin l’un de l’autre et cesser d’être comme deux êtres séparés. 

A song of love, a lament over separation: Oh, where are you, my wild gazelle? I have so much love and affection for you… Come, so that we may take care of each other and no longer be two separate beings.

Faran Ensemble is a three player group, who joined each other in a
spiritual quest, expressed in music and sounds. It has been years now that
these players have deeply engaged themselves in studying the musical
instruments and the theory of music with the best teachers in the country
and abroad.

The instruments played originate from esoteric and ancient traditions of
the East.
KAMANTCHE is an ancient musical instrument whose origins are
rooted in Azerbaijan.
OUD, one of the most ancient string instruments, is found anywhere it is
customary to have very strong and dark tea in a small cup.
The Percussion which have been in use since the first human heartbeat.

The ensemble members grew up and come from different places,
backgrounds and sceneries. From the very dry desert to the luscious green
through the hectic noisy city sounds. The composed works reflect all of
these as they were composed together by the four ensemble members.
Both the composition-works and the musicians are deeply influenced by
the Eastern musical system called 'Maqam' .
Maqam in translation means all at once a physical place in the musical scale,
the fingers' placing on the strings and the melody which expresses this.
But more than that, 'Maqam' refers to a meditative place. A state that the
player must be attended so the music will be played as it should be.
In ancient cultures each Maqam has its own particular hour in the day,
season and a specific ceremonial connection.

Faran, is a dry desert wadi, which fills with water and life only in rainy
winters; and in the hot season, otherwise silent. It crosses Israel on its
way from Sinai, ignoring all borders.

Music for us is a journey.

Rujum

Dans ce nouveau projet, dynamisé par les percussions de son fils Naghib, Saeid Shanbehzadeh engage un dialogue fécond avec la guitare de Manu Codjia, l’un de ses plus fidèles compagnons sur la route du jazz contemporain. Leurs improvisations insufflent un esprit neuf à l’héritage culturel iranien toujours mis en valeur. Rendant un double hommage aux traditions afro-iraniennes venues de sa mère et baloutches venues de son père, Shanbehzadeh associe cornemuse et saxophone à la voix magnifique de Rostam Mirlashari, un “prince de la musique du Baloutchistan” exilée en Suède en 1991. La cohésion de leur musique esquisse la profondeur de l’héritage mutuel qui les unit dans cette collaboration.

Constantinople est un ensemble musical qui a choisi de faire du voyage son fondement – voyage géographique, historique, culturel, intérieur –, de s’abreuver à toutes les sources et de viser les horizons lointains. Empruntant son nom à l’ancienne cité phare éclairant l’Orient et l’Occident, l’ensemble a été imaginé comme un espace de rencontres et de métissages par son directeur artistique Kiya Tabassian et fondé en 1998 à Montréal.

Constantinople is a musical ensemble that chose the journey—geographical certainly, but also historical, cultural and inner—as its cornerstone. It draws inspiration from all sources and aims for distant horizons. Inspired by the ancient city illuminating the East and West, Constantinople was founded in 1998 in Montreal by its artistic director, Kiya Tabassian.
