Do you think it is a collective expansion of consciousness or an experimental break from modern sounds? At that time, there was a wave of change-seekers gathering from so many different countries in India.Īlthough you are essentially an acoustic artist, your influence in the world of electronic music has had a great impact and attracted a worldwide audience for your sound. It started in 1980 in India with different musicians from all over the world. At which point in time did that shift happen, or was it traditional heritage? However, you blurred the line between music and spirituality. We call Sufism the belief love, harmony and beauty.“, says Bahramji.īahramji Open Spirit Bahramji “ Open Spirit“įeaturing: Maneesh De Moor, Mashti, Swann and Beach MessiahBahramji You started playing music at a very early age. To see the beauty, which is all around, visibly or invisibly. It’s about harmony with ourselves and with others. The message is liberty of the soul, the love for each other and the love for nature. Sufism is not a religion, but rather a way of life. It is a symbol for the human soul and a symbol for the Sufi soul, which swings along with it. The “Ney“ plays hereby an important role. Sufi music is a mental expression of divine love from the view of humans. Seven tones create the whole music world-wide, ever written and still to be written. Music is a universal language music appears in all languages of the world, by mixing seven tones, which create millions of different melodies. It brings us laughter or tears – it feeds our spirit. Music is a power in our life, our greatest gift. „In the life of the Sufi music is as important as air for breathing. Nevertheless is music of greatest importance in his life. Whatever may come, I take it like it is, because it is good as it is.“ Bahram does not expect anything and this seems to be his secret. I take life simply gratefully and with open heartily – just as it is. Bahramji continues to say: „I never commit myself to only one thing. Today I am a musician and tomorrow … a cook.“ And a good cook he is. „I identify myself with my music – however not just only herewith. He also began to sing in order to interpret the words of mystic poets such as Rumi, Saadi, Attar or Hafez.įor a long time Bahramji studied the doctrines of the Sufi and also lived through the teachings.
Besides the Santoor, he also began to play the Persian Settar and „Ney“, a Persian bamboo flute. His instrument is the Persian Santoor, a traditional string instrument, from which is said to be able to cause the tone of total emptiness. By playing whirling music for restless globetrotters of most various cultures, his style changed and melted the traditional songs into a new form, creating a sphere refreshing the body and soul. Nature and people are wonderful – it changed my life.“ says Bahramji. A good friend taught him the first steps on this traditional instrument and already soon he became such a virtuoso, that he already performed in public.Īfter Bahram had lived 25 years in Iran, where he also went to school ending with a highschool diploma, he left the country in 1977, studied in and travelled to India and later to Europe.
Bahrams musical career began at the age of 15 when his father, who plays the violin himself, gave him a Santoor. As a child he heard the old Sufi melodies, which are still inspiration for him today. He therefore had contact to music at early age. Bahram grew up in a large family, in which there were many good musicians and singers. Kermanshah is a small city in a beautifully location: surrounded by mountains, rivers and trees, it was therefore also called „the city of the kings“. Bahram was born 1952 in the Persian city Kermanshah, in the Kurdish part Iran.
