In The Garden Of Souls

"In the Garden of Souls" by Vas.
Album: "In the Garden of Souls".
Year: 2000.

Another favourite 'world/Persian' band of mine, Vas features legendary singer Azam Ali, whom, together with several members of Axiom Of Choice, have gone on to create the global supergroup - Niyaz.

"Allahi Allah" by Niyaz:


"Lasse Pour Quoi" by Azam Ali from her solo album "Portals of Grace":


Of the countless 12th and 13th century Trobairitz (female poet- musicians) who graces the magnificent courts of medievel Europe, we know only the names of a mere handful, which is why the source of so many of the poems and melodies such as this one remains a mystery. The language of the troubadours, know as Old Provençal, was the language spoken in the southern half of present day France. The poems of the Trobairitz mostly portray the joys or sorrows of a woman in love. In "Lasse Pour Quoi", a woman sings of her regret for refusing the one whom she loves.

Sweeping, epic & grand...this is music for the soul. In-Joy.
