Editorial Reviews

Achy Obejas, The Chicago Tribune Oct 28, 2004

Derakshani, who played only traditional instruments, often made them wail like bluesy electric guitars...

Product Description

Ray of The Wine's blend of Persian, Moroccan, African, Indian and Western music is at once earthy, mystical and seductive, as traditional rigor meets improvisational freedom and complex, passionate melodies couple with relentless grooves. Reza is a master of traditional Persian stringed instruments like the Tar, Sehtar and the bowed Tarmanche and Kamanche, as well as the bamboo flute known as the Ney and the Daf, a hand drum. The CD was produced by The Door's drummer John Densmore, who also played drums, and features a stellar international ensemble of players.
