SAFAIE, NELIA - Songs From Lands Of Silence (Sealed) (CD)

Nelia Safaie sings songs from Lands of Silence The Iranian singer-songwriter Nelia Safaie is making her debut this autumn with the album "Songs from Lands of Silence". This album is a testimony to hope and light against a dark background. Nelia has written most of the songs herself. Her lyrics are about expectations of a new morning with pure rivers, fertile fields and waves of light, and about the yearning that always fills us all. Nelia Safaie is a student of the famous artist Mahsa Vahdat. Nelia presented two songs in the project "Songs in the Mist" in 2016, where also many other students of Mahsa Vahdat took part, among them Ooldouz Pouri whose debut album was released last year. The two students take part in building a longlasting educational and pedagogical platform of Persian vocal arts that Mahsa has established during more than 20 years as a teacher and mentor. The later years the record company Kirkelig Kulturverksted has supported this work in several ways. The albums of Nelia Safaie and Ooldouz Pouri are results of this work, and they represent important steps for the artists.
