About Album
In Convergence Liberation represents the latest step in saxophonist/ composer/theorist Hafez Modirzadehs thirty-year quest to create a seamless exchange between the worlds musical systems. Argentine-Mexican vocalist Mili Bermejo (vocals) and Iraqi-American Amir ElSaffar (Iraqi santur, vocals and trumpet), singing from Spanish and Arabic sources, and Faraz Minooei (Persian santur), and Amir Abbas Etemadzadeh (Persian daff and tombak) together demonstrate the musical potential to liberate cultural traditions with true universal empathy.
