Searingly soulful, soaring performances by this bonafide master of Persion classical singing, including settings of the ravishingly sensual, tormented ghazals of Hafez, from the fourteenth century.
With accompaniment and interludes by an ensemble comprising santur, daf, tombak, rubab, kamantche, tar, setar, and flute.

Ravishingly beautiful, achingly precious songs and instrumentals, sumptuously presented: the Royal Court Orchestra in 1906 through to a hauntingly soulful Hafez setting by Moluk Zarrabi of Kashan, from 1933.

Sensational French-language do-over of the 45 Faybiene had recently cut for Jack Ruby (following up her hit Prophecy), before moving in 1977 from Kingston to Montreal with Joe Cooper (who plays organ on Police & Thieves).
Zonked, sublime and rugged like Half Moon in Toronto, with a crazy whistling effect throughout, and spaced-out dub.
Bim.

Faybiene Miranda was one of a kind — a Joni Mitchell fan from Panama City who co-published with Mutubaruka. Soon after Tropical Energy broke up she toured the UK with Benjamin Zephaniah, reading her poetry. Before her death in 2013 she was living in Brooklyn, amongst Steel Pulse crew.
