简介：Cyminology is an ethnically diverse Jazz band performing with Persian lyrics sung by Iranian/German singer Cymin Samawatie The band formed in 2002 and self released their first CD in December that year. Performing well in several international Jazz contests, they have gone on to touring internationally, on occasion as representatives of the Goethe-Institut. Cyminology has spread its music all over Germany, Europe, to the near and middle East, to New York and to Asia. The audience is abducted into a world between orient and occident, to the bazaars from the tales of '1001 Arabian Nights'. This occurs, at least for the members of Cyminology, right in their neighbourhood: Berlin. It's no surprise: Cyminology is a multi-national band. Cymins family descends from Iran; Benedikt Jahnel (piano) was born in France, Ralf Schwarz (bass) comes from Germany and Ketan Bhatti (drums) is a native of India. They met in a city where the intercultural music matches the multicultural way of living. Cyminologys music combines oriental exoticism with the new music from Germanys capitol to form a unique style of Jazz. Sometimes energetic, sometimes full of far eastern melancholy, Cymin Samawatie and her musical partners paint a musical horizon for their metropolis.Therefore, Cyminology presents not only a unique musical genre, but also brings to the stage an intercultural view of life. Always presented with great virtuosity in a strictly acoustic setting, this is a flavour of vocal jazz somewhere between 'new-jazz' and the 'old-classical' style; an intense musical colour is created to support the mystical Persian Lyrics. Bobby McFerrin invited her 2003 on stage in Braunschweig (Germany) to sing a vocal remix of Persian poems from the 11th century. This reference from the father of modern Jazz singing shows clearly how talented the german-iranian singer Cymin Samawatie is.. 2009 Cyminology published their third album 'As Ney' on ECM. It succeeds in connecting the fairytale-like language of Persian poetry with first class Jazz of American and European influence. Like on their first two albums ‘perse’ and 'bemun', the fusion of modern vocal jazz and influences from poems and songs from the ancient Persia are the main topic of the music. The band is touring constantly in countless clubs as well as big festivals. For more Infos go to www.cyminology.de
