Niyaz Vocalist Azam Ali Entrances Victoria Audience
Niyaz (USA/Iran) were the closing main stage act last night for the opening of the Victoria ICA Folk Festival. Azam Ali entranced the audience with a sweet voice spinning poetics of Sufi wisdom. Even the most reluctant dancers were on their feet moving to the seductive rhythms of this blend of traditional Iranian music with subtle yet intoxicating beats generated by laptop remixer/producer Carmen Rizzo. Quite wonderful to hear the live tabla sampled and re-mixed during the concert.
