about

"“The Voices and Bridges'' by Ehsan Matoori is a multilingual & multicultural collaboration between artists from different parts of the world. The album brings together Persian, Spanish, Arabic, English, Turkish, Bengali, Urdu, Kashmiri and French languages to create a new narrative that celebrates different musical and cultural traditions.

The lyrics for this project are pulled from some of the world's most renowned poets. The works of Rudaki, Jorge Luis Borges, Nima Youshij, Pierre Riverdy, William Shakespeare, Allama Iqbal, Lal Ded, Rabindranath Tagore, Nazim Hikmat, Maram Almesri, Forough Farokhzad, and Rumi are all brought together to create a multicultural landscape that is both unique and universal. The original works, composed by Ehsan Matoori are anchored with performances from an international group of accomplished musicians, and with linguistic and academic advice offered by Dr. Sadaf Munshi.

The album is a message for spreading the word of peace through music and poetry as a transformative tool that heals and connects people.
