Together with her sister, Marjan Vahdat has made Persian song tradition familiar the world over. Now Marjan is releasing a solo album where East meets West. On "Blue Fields", however, the Eastern elements guide the music and take control.
In no way is Marjan left in the shadow of her older sister. On her first solo album, "Blue Fields", Marjan presents a sound where we discern the presence of Western musical influence, but where the Persian element still dominates. In addition to Marjan's expressive voice, the flute artist Pasha Hanjani (ney) and the renowned virtuoso on the Persian string instrument kamancheh, Shervin Mohajer, are the most important reasons for this. They both live in Iran where they practise their musical art. The Western element is contributed by the Norwegian musicians Gjermund Silset (double bass) and Kenneth Ekornes (drums and percussion).
Marjan Vahdat has an outstanding boldness in her vocal expression. She dares to take chances and succeeds in delivering a completely personal and characteristic style that is Persian in its roots, but which also has adopted elements that might give associations to flamenco, Kurd vocal art and Gypsy songs. Her repertoire includes songs she has written to the Persian poems of Rumi, Tahereh Ghorattolein and contemporary writers like Mohammad Ibrahim Jafari, but she also sings Kurd and Azerbaijani traditional songs.
Marjan is prohibited from performing for men in her native country of Iran, but this recording makes it possible for her to present her art to an international audience. She often performs in Asia, and in Europe and the Americas.
