Golbang plays both traditional
and modern Iranian folk music. On their new CD "Saali nó" they have also
added a Swedish touch. The unique meeting between the Orient and
Scandinavia is nothing less than magic.
An important part of
Golbang’s music is improvisation, which very much contributes to the
unique sound. Another equally important part is the variety of rhythms.
Music is supposed to mirror the soul of the performer and the rhythms can,
and should, evolve into completely new forms. The charasteristics depend
on who is the interpreter. Golbang is in many ways a reflexion of the
eight participants in the group and every song can be performed in at
least eight different ways. Therefore every show with Golbang is a new and
fresh musical experience.
Or as one listener enthusiastically said: »I´ve heard a lot of
great oriental music, but nothing has been like your music. It is
completely captivating and I even got
Goosebumps!«
The word »Golbang« is a Persian
word which refers to the nightingale’s song. Nothing could be more
appropriate, since Golbang gathers and unites people from all parts of the
world with the most universal language of them all music.
Golbang
performs with Raks El Hawanem, one of the best
Oriental dance-groups in Sweden. They master Persian, Baluchi, Kurdish,
Indian (Bollywood) and Egyptian dance.
