Roots Revival A project which reinterprets musical roots. Roots Revival establishes musical dialogues among various cultures from around the globe.

An international project in which each musician comes from a different cultural background in an effort to focus on musical roots around the world and to bring traditional music at a crossroad of contemporary experiments influenced by traditional, jazz, folk and world music. The concept started in 2013 at the initiative of Mehdi Aminian which coordinated the events of each theme-Maramures and Maria Tanase. Mehdi is currently developing the project focusing on new musical compositions. The first CD Roots Revival Romania is available at Carturesti bookshop since February 2014. Un proiect international ce reuneste muzicieni din diverse tari in incercarea de a aduce cantece traditionale romanesti in centrul unor experimente contemporane influentate de jazz, folk si world music. Conceptul s-a nascut in 2013 la initiativa lui Mehdi Aminian, coordonatorul evenimentelor corespunzatoare fiecarei teme, Maramures si Maria Tanase. In prezent Mehdi dezvolta proiectul in perspectiva materializarii unor noi compozitii muzicale. Primul CD Roots Revival Romania este disponibil in Librariile Carturesti din Februarie 2014.

Music by Mehdi Aminian and Anna-Sophie Brüning, with organ, piano, voice, Iranian ney and setar, will form part of the dialogue and offer another way of approaching the theme of compassion.

Meet Ross Daly.
In The phrasing of makam, he works with phrasing, listening and melodic development in makam and related modal traditions. It’s about how a melody moves, where tension builds, and how improvisation can grow naturally from the music.
