专辑简介

Asita Hamidi`s Bazaar takes you on a journey stretching from the north to the southeast. A repertoire telling timeless tales of modern and archaic worlds narrated by their distinct blend of scandinavian and oriental roots, a wide-open interest in other cultures, improvisations and a unique set of instruments. Bazaar’s music winds its ways through territories untouched by musical tourism. Intense, sensual and alive, their music is like a collage of time and space and goes unfiltered straight to the heart.

In 1996 the Persian harpplayer and singer Asita Hamidi started her band „Bazaar“ in Switzerland. At the same time in Sweden, bassplayer Björn Meyer co-founded the trio „Bazar Blå“. Shortly after the two met at a concert and realized that the chosen band names were just one of many parallells. Triggered by their closely related ways to approach music, sound aesthetic and life, the wish instantly arose to work together and explore new musical worlds.

Blue Ark is their 3rd collaboration. Brandnew compositions, masterly instrumental and vocal performance, heart-melting melodies and an ambience between oriental bazaar, dreamt away togetherness and european perfectionism let listeners go into raptures.

“Hamidi & Meyer - this combination of creative visions has proven to be very fruitful over the years, so also this time. This dreamteam, supported by Bruno Amstad and Kaspar Rast - the best singer and drummer imaginable - is simply predestined to win!” (Jazz’n’More)
