ABOUT NIYAZ - www.niyazmusic.com
Described by the Huffington Post as "an evolutionary force in contemporary Middle Eastern music, NIYAZ has created a 21st century global trance tradition by seamlessly blending medieval Sufi poetry and folk songs from their native Iran and its surrounding countries in the Persian Gulf, with rich acoustic instrumentation and state-of-the-art modern electronics.
Based in Montreal, NIYAZ was founded in 2004 by captivating vocalist/ composer and two-time JUNO Award nominee Azam Ali, and multi-instrumentalist/ composer and JUNO Award nominee Loga Ramin Torkian. In March 2015, Niyaz released their fourth full-length studio album entitled "The Fourth Light," a tribute to the first female Sufi mystic and poet Rabia Al Basri who was born in the 8th century in Iraq.
Niyaz is committed to creating music with a deep social message aimed at uniting people from different cultural and religious backgrounds through our shared humanity.
