The name Furud derives from the Arabic ألفرود al-furūd "the solitary ones". This was an appellation early Arab poets used for a number of anonymous stars.

Madar (literally an ‘Orbit’) is a group of five musicians from the Netherlands, Palestine, Jordan and Tunisia. With genuine curiosity for and understanding of each other’s musical language, they have come together with the purpose of creating something new, built on a deeply shared respect for the qualities of their various musical worlds.

Acamar, from the Arabic Ākhir an-nahr meaning "the end of the river", is a star located in the constellation Eridanus, variously associated by ancient astronomers with rivers across the Mediterranean and Middle East, including the Nile, Po and Euphrates. The music in this album is inspired by the classical civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean which relied in daily life on an understanding of the cosmos.
