Refugees For Refugees. (19:16 mins)
This album contains musical traditions from Syria, Tibet, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and Belgium. When the music is in the hoop, it is the same as when the music is played and it is still on its own. Traditional styles also come with innovative combinations, including Indo-Pakistani music combined with Tibetan melodies, Arab music and Himalayan music with orientated percussion. From the theme of the album to the end of the album, it is in perspective for you to listen to.

Maryam Akhondy. (21:33 min)
Singer Maryam Akhondy was born in Tehran. She is the founder and musical director of an Iranian women’s choir and a true virtuoso of classical Persian singing. She is also notable for the fluid way in which she incorporates jazz into her own music, as evidenced by her latest album. A special role is played by clarinetist Roman Kushniarou—originally from Minsk—who contributes elements reminiscent of klezmer.
