Sticky Jazz Interview Azam Ali
Manage episode 519096594 series 3339731
Translated from the Fremen language in the Dune books "She Is Eternal" , "Inama Nushif" was the song I first heard and fell in love with the voice and music of Azam Ali.
Azam Ali is a Persian (Iranian) born singer who migrated to the United States, bringing with her an amazing voice, and an "Other worldly" spirt to her singing.
She has had projects "Niyaz" as her world music project, then "VAS", she is releasing (in two days) her latest album "Synesthesia", a follow up to her album "Phantoms" in 2019.
We talk about the concept of synesthesia, her songwriting, her experience of getting to the united states, who her idols are, and how she got to working with them.
She has also modeled for countless renaissance paintings over the centuries.
For fans of Lisa Gerrard, Dead Can Dance, Bauhaus , Kate Bush, Loreena Mckennit, Cocteau Twins, Liz Fraser
