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 ...
"Cheza" (pronounced like "ch" is choose and "ez" in fez) is a Swahili word that means "to dance, to play." Cheza's music has been described as Afro-pop, "garage-soukous", and folk-African fusion.
Cheza was formed in 1993 by singer-guitar player Paul Weber. Paul lived briefly in Senegal, west Africa where his interest in African music began. The search for others who shared his love of African styles led to the formation of Cheza. Band members include: Phil Bova (drums), Pat Giunta (guitar and vocals), Rob Graves (percussion), Stella Haybukhai (vocals), Neema Mugala (vocals), and Stuart Watkins (bass).
The music of Cheza is a blend of African styles with rock and folk influences -- a new-world hybrid. The result is a collection of songs with strong choral harmonies and fluid inter-playing guitars, all unified by an irresistible dance beat. Song themes range from strong statements of the human spirit to Canadian history to hot spices. Lyrics are sung in English, French, Xhosa, Portuguese, Zulu and Swahili ...

A collective of spiritually-inspired musicians who have created, with the sitar, tabla, synthesisers, flutes, Vedic chants, etc, healing and uplifting Indian-flavoured grooves.

Born in Australia, Soolaba started playing guitar at age 15, influenced by such guitar greats as Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana. Armed with a twelve-string and a busking hat, his first public performances were on the streets of Sydney in 1977.
At age 19, Soolaba bought his first sitar being inspired by George Harrison, and his famous sitar-guru, Ravi Shankar.
By studying Shankar's recordings and Indian music books, Soolaba developed his unique style of sitar playing.
Over the next 4 years he studied sound and video with ABC-TV, painted fine arts, and enjoyed the devotional life-style of the Krishna movement. It was in the Krishna temples of Australia, New Zealand and India that Soolaba learnt the traditional songs, instruments and raga music theory that form the core of his performances today.
Over the last twelve years Soolaba has performed as a solo singer/sitarist, and in fusion bands with diverse instruments such as: didjeridoo, oboe, synthesisers, double bass, tabla drums, flutes, violins, electric guitars, African drums and drum kits. Venues for the music are equally diverse and have included restaurants, festivals, universities, yoga clubs, private functions, art exhibitions, dance party chill-zones, tropical resorts and hotels ...
