Taneen Sufi Music Ensemble creates authentic, original world music that blends western and middle eastern instruments, arabic chants and lyrics from ancient and modern Sufi poets that have been translated into English.
Formed in 1996 under the guidance of Muslim Sufi Masters Shah Nazar Seyed Ali Kianfar and Seyeda Nahid Angha, founders of the International Association of Sufism, we reside in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, U.S.A.
Sufiism is the mystical heart of Islam. As seekers on the Sufi path, our music springs from the heart of prayer, inner practice, and spiritual discipline and is a celebration of heart's longing to feel connected to the source of mystery behind this reality and the source of peace within us all. We sing as an offering and a service intended to increase tranquility in the world.
With an authentic fusion of Middle Eastern and Western influences, we create new, original melodies; yet our music is deeply rooted in the Sufi tradition in its intention and inspiration. We primarily sing the love poetry of the great masters (such as Jalaleddin Rumi, Hafiz, Omar Khayam and Shah Maghsoud) in English translation, making the profound message of love which the Sufis profess very accessible to all audiences ...

The Radikal Sunflowers Colectivo: Dancehall Reggae Latin Breakbeatz Dub Jazz - from Darmstadt, Germany.
Creating its own hot and extra-spicy Mestizo sound, the Radikal Sunflowers
Colectivo manages to merge musical influences of Jamaika and its communitites
in the UK with wild Jazz, Cumbia, Soca, Reggaetón and HipHop in a really impressing way.
The lyrics in english, spanish and german relate to freedom, love & peace,
conciousness and slackness - sometimes serious, sometimes nice, sometimes
reflecting the culture and sometimes just ass-moving.
Each live performance of the Radikal Sunflowers Colectivo is an extraordinairy experience
somewhere between a Soundsystem Show, a gig of a Live Band and a Dancehall party.
The spectrum of the live-program ranges from original Sunflowers tunes, Jazz classics like
"Minnie the Moocher", "Summertime" and "Night in Tunesia" (in stunning reggae-versions), individual
interpretations of Manu Chao´s "Clandestino" and Sergant Garcia's "Que Palique" to riddims like
Diwali, Police in Helicopter, Bitch, Amelie, Groovin, Harmony.

Hugo Torres-Cereceda: Worldbeat Latin American Singer Songwriter.
Hugo Torres-Cereceda, a self-taught musician, whet his appetite for music as a very small child, listening to family gatherings, participating in community events, etc. As a teenager growing up in his native Chile, Hugo was a member of a folk group Voces de America which appeared on Chilean national television in 1968. At that point, Hugo decided to concentrate on mastering the guitar.
In 1971, Hugo decided to learn more about the Andean Culture by spending two months, during his summer vacation, living among an Aymara community in the highlands of Northern Chile. That was the time when Hugo fell in love with the panflute.
Upon his arrival in Canada, Hugo immediately began to make his mark as a dedicated and versatile musician. Hugo was the founder and director of Retaguardia, one of the first Latin American folk groups in Canada. It played at cultural events and festival (Mainstage, Winnipeg Folk Festival, 1979) and enjoyed audiences in concert in most major cities in Canada and the United States.
From 1980 to 1993, Hugo produced a weekly coffeehouse AL CAFE which presented worldbeat music and community issues. Now, Hugo is in his third year of producing a monthly coffeehouse CAFE DE TODOS.
As a solo performer, Hugo has completed four concert tours of California, playing the Winnipeg Folk Festival many times; he played the Vancouver Folk Festival and the Festival on the Rocks (Yellowknife). He has played solo performances in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Canmore, and other cities in Canada. In 1980, Hugo did a 13-day concert tour in Nicaragua (Central America).
Hugo has been heard twice on CBC's Identities program; he has performed twice on CBC's Simply Folk; he has been featured on CBC's Friday Nite The Entertainers ; on three different occasions he has played and been interviews on Swinging with the Stars (Murray McLaughlan); he has performed on three separate television networks; and he was recorded and appeared in a film produced about the 1988 Vancouver Folk Festival ...
