Shahin & Sepehr

The smooth textures and soulful world beat dynamics of Shahin & Sepehr made instant contemporary classics out of their brilliant debut "One Thousand & One Nights" and its cool, introspective follow-up, "e." The magic continues on their third album as the duo tap into an even fresher vibe in the world meets urban dance realm, combining breezy pop melodies with Spanish guitar and keyboard and their trademark Middle Eastern flair.

Shahin & Sepehr {sha-heen & seh-pear} is a Washington, DC-based instrumental duo featuring guitarist, Shahin Shahida and keyboardist, Sepehr Haddad. They describe their sound as a blend of Spanish, Moorish and Persian influences within a Latin guitar context. The ten songs on this stunning debut release have an exotic yet accessible quality for a rich and emotional listening experience.

„E" shimmers with the beauty and color of Spain and Persia. It pulses with world and urban dance rhythms. Guitar, keyboards, the exotic santur and Persian flutes weave a beguiling sound that speaks from and to the heart. Like the symbolic 'e' of mathematics, music and science, its a language that transcends time and place.
