For Ravin, life is music. His worldwide search, to seek out melodies, unknown sensations and ignored talents are part of his everyday life. This musical quest is, above all, full of curiosity and passion.

Whole worlds in a handful of beats. Sounds touching on spirituality. Rhythms transcending cultures. Harmonies of the East melting into western breezes. Tracks telling their private story.

Ravin delays the passing day. Slows down the earth’s rotation. He quietly asks you to accompany him on his lifelong musical journey. Crossing boundaries and instilling tranquility and private calm.

Indelibly connected to today’s electric union of
global trends and world music, Ravin has created a luscious cocktail,. a spiritual union, infused with his extraordinary knowledge and deep love of the globe’s traditional sounds.

creating his own imprint.
