Black Swan
Dunya, the second release from Jef Stott and Mah Ze Tar from their Zikr Project is a deep sonic invocation of all that is sacred within the Earthly realms. Medicine music for the modern mystic. The cry of the ney flute and plaintive vocals from Mah Ze Tar are supported by deep ceremonial frame drum rhythms and lush soundscapes to create the perfect sound track for medicine journeys that honor the Earth. The term Dunya ( دُنْيا ) which is used throughout the Islamic world in several languages refers to the temporal world and its earthly concerns and possessions. The Zikr project releases this collection of related music with the hope of bringing the healing power of the Earth into our homes and our spirits.
