Azam Ali: From Night to the Edge of Day

Aug 17, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters
Azam Ali - "Mehman (The Guest)"
Niyaz and Vas singer is on her own again, with powerful arrangements and an elegiac, beautiful voice. In her prolific career as a solo artist as well as vocalist for Niyaz and Vas, Azam Ali's distinctive voice has proved consistently striking. Sinuous and flexible, that voice manages to convey both depths of longing as well as coy playfulness, always with a powerful, elegaic beauty. Her 2009 release with Niyaz, Nine Heavens, showcased her vocals against a backdrop of high-energy traditional tunes augmented with Western beats and Eastern instrumentation. Her new album From...

Music Review: Azam Ali - From Night to The Edge of Day

While the songs point out differences between our cultures, the love a parent feels for a child isn't unique to any one people.

Azam Ali Crafts Grown-Up Middle-Eastern Lullabies on 'From the Night'

Apr 5, 2011, 1:58pm Spinner.com
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive , Around the World Austin Young Lullabies, as it turns out, are not for babies. The song 'Noor (The Light in My Eyes),' which opens Azam Ali's new album 'From Night to the Edge of Day' (due out April 12 by Six Degrees Records) certainly doesn't sound like kids' stuff. Leading off a collection drawn largely from various cultures in Ali's native Iran and neighboring [...]

No one thinks of the flowers...except Azam Ali

Dec 14, 2008, 12:41am SoundRoots World Music & mp3 Blog
No one thinks of the flowers...except Azam Ali CD REVIEW Azam Ali, Keyavash Nourai, & Shahrokh Yadegari - Green Memories (LilaSound) Azam Ali is undoubtedly the big-name musician on this album. But if you approach it expecting something like her work with Vas or Niyaz, you'll be wrong. Sort of. Green Memories is billed as a "structured improvisation work by Shahrokh Yadegari," who plays the Lila, "a computer music instrument which allows the performer to process and manipulate live acoustic material in real-time. And in content, Yadegari describes the [...]

Monday's mp3: The Veil of Niyaz

Jun 30, 2008, 5:55pm SoundRoots World Music & mp3 Blog
Monday's mp3: The Veil of Niyaz Still struggling under an excessive bandwidth demand... which is a good thing, sort of. I'll address that shortly (in the meantime, visit the Tip Jar!), but for today here's something fabulous direct from Six Degrees Records. They've just released the latest from Niyaz, a group formed in 2005 by the trio of Azam Ali ( Vas ), Loga Tamin Torkian ( Axiom of Choice ), and Carmen Rizzo (R-New Mexico. No, just kidding...). For their ambitious second release, Niyaz has created an enticing double album, with one disc of [...]

When Sufis Retire...

Oct 4, 2007, 2:16pm SoundRoots World Music & mp3 Blog
When Sufis Retire... Turkish-born ney player and DJ Arkin Allen, more widely known as Mercan Dede, recently announced his retirement from the music business. I understand. I understand because I realize that even with the magic a musician can experience being on stage sharing music with an enthusiastic audience, there's a side of the music business that's a grind: promoting, selling, marketing, networking, traveling. I don't know Dede's specific reasons, but life as a musician isn't all roses and royalty checks. My last albums were Fire, Water and Wind. People were [...]

Sep 22, 2007, 9:11pm Nothin' Sez Somethin'
Nathan Nothin' here! Raining outside right now. I'm sipping some Pimm's #1 Cup & tonic on the rocks. I'm feeling righteously mellow. My day started out anything but... Sometime last evening my house phones all went dead. Hassled with AT&T (the new SBC) for about an hour before I could schedule someone to come & take a listen this morning. Ruben shows up just shortly after 8am, he's totally personable & knowledgeable. Gets my phones working in short order. We enjoy a breakfast cup of Ethiopian Harrar & I bid him a fond adieu. Walk into the kitchen, [...]

Evil? Or just kind of exotic?

Oct 12, 2006, 8:50pm SoundRoots World Music & mp3 Blog
Evil? Or just kind of exotic? You've gotta hand it to those presidential speechwriters. Even when they're doing global culture a disservice by branding an entire nation or region as evil (Empire of Evil, Axis of Evil, etc.), they manage to spark new cottage industries. Take W's "Axis of Evil," for example. We've already talked about the great compilation Lullabies from the Axis of Evil and related things . Now there's a book. Yes, for a mere $17 or so, you add to your evil culture collection the book " Literature from the 'Axis of [...]
