Sarod virtuosos Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash said their new album, “Sand And Foam”, is inspired from the works of the renowned Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist, Kahlil Gibran.<\/p>\n
Amaan says: “As Gibran says, ‘music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.’ It’s with that very ethos that we have created this album.”<\/p>\n
“We are ever so grateful to all of the amazing artists who have teamed up with us on this very memorable album. A first for us in this genre.”<\/p>\n
Elaborating about the album, Ayaan adds: “Taking as inspiration from the master of timeless wisdom, Khalil Gibran’s illustrious works, especially in current times, I feel that his thoughts are so very relevant.”<\/p>\n
“It was something we collectively wanted to execute musically.”<\/p>\n
“Literally as Gibran says, ‘solitude is a silent storm that breaks down all our dead branches; yet it sends our living roots deeper into the living heart of the living earth.’ I am so honored to have been a part of this process,” he says.<\/p>\n
Some of the special guest appearances on the record include Claudia Acuna (vocals), Latin Grammy nominee; Tivon Pennicott (sax); Caliph (rap), Oran Etkins (saxophone), Malini Aswathi (vocals) and Sudha Raghunanthan (vocals).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
