Opium Moon is a sensual and groovy collaboration of  master musicians Lili Haydn on Violin/Voice, Hamid Saeidi on Santoor (Persian hammered dulcimer), MB Gordy on ancient percussion, and Itai Disraeli on fretless bass. We come from the corners of the world—Israel, Iran, and the US—making peace through harmony.  Our name was inspired by a poem by the great Sufi poet Hafiz, in which he says: 

The bird’s favorite songs
You do not hear,
For their most flamboyant music takes place
When their wings are stretched
Above the trees
And they are smoking the opium of pure freedom…
