“Music as a means of rejuvenation was known to the ancients of many civilizations . Dance as therapy and music as sacrament was the way man entered into dialogue with that which is divine .

The movement of sound within body and mind , and the movement of body to sound , in harmony with the pulse of existence from cells to galaxies , is a profound experience with great transformational potential . From the earliest shamans and tribal dances to the most highly developed musical art forms , this power of renewal through sound remains the essence .

The impassioned beauty of the music of Strunz & Farah reflects the commingling of elements particular to their respective cultures , rooted in Latin America and the middle east . Technically , their improvisational style is a synthesis stemming from an eclectic musical language that is international in its scope and embrace . Their compositions are executed with both fingernails and plectra , rendering a uniqueness to their craft .

The moods of their music evoke images such as that of the Persian musician ziryab in the court of the moors in Spain , the lush countryside of tropical America bathed in a soft rain , the echoes of the Mezquita in the indigo night , the dancing Yaqui shaman lit by firelight at the edge of dawn .

The music herein is nocturnal , it belongs to the night with its dreams and visions  . It conveys the yearning of the night and explores that mood in all its mystery and depth , to the very doors of dawn…….when , with the coming of the sun a new day begins , and the caravan of the night arrives at its destination .

This is a journey of the heart through its own night and dreams , seeking light and finding ultimately within itself the sun . “

MUSIC NOTE : -------------------------

Another Of The Rare Recordings By Kavichandran Alexander, MISTERIO Features Guitar Players Jorge Strunz And Ardeshir Farah .

The Music Session Was Recorded At Christ The King Chapel, St. Anthony’s Seminary, Santa Barbara, California, Utilizing Only Tube Electronics, Blumlein Arrangement Of The Microphones, No Augmentation Whatsoever, The Pressing Using Only The Finest Premium Vinyl .

Note, As You Listen To These Two Masters, That The Marvel Of It All Stems From Kavi’s Meticulous Placement Of The Microphones And His Monitoring Through Both Stax Electrostatic Headphones And Apogee Caliper Signature Ribbon Loudspeakers .

The End Result Is Quite Startling And About As Close As You Can Come On Records To Actually Attending The Musical Event .  On A State-Of-The-Art Hi-Fi System, This Record Is A Jaw Dropper, To Say The Very Least .

An Extraordinary Record, Worthy Of The Finest Vinyl Library .
