Rumi is probably the world’s most-read because so many people have taken him with them to the West. But in different parts of the world, there have been wonderful, great writers, poets, and musicians.
Sometimes we have a little bit of an attitude that Indian culture is the greatest in the world. You see, because it is a different language, no one wants to do it. How did you come to do Rumi? We haven’t seen anyone in India taking up his poetry and rendering it in the original Persian. In an interview with DHoS, Shujaat Khan shared his thoughts on a host of ideas. The tunes are composed by Shujaat Khan, who plays the sitar on each of the tracks.
In this unusual recording, Katayoun sings his poetry in the original Persian (also called Farsi). Rumi, who lived in the 13th century and wrote in Persian, has been translated into languages across the world. A team of four musicians led by sitar maestro Shujaat Khan has just released an album of Jalaluddin Rumi’s poetry.Ĭalled This Pale, it features six tracks sung by Iranian-American singer Katayoun Goudarzi, accompanied by Shao Andalibi, who plays the Iranian ney (a wind instrument whose sound resembles that of the flute), and Shariq Mustafa, who plays the tabla.
