Haale, Grada March 28, 2008

Weaving Persian melodies and poetry into a lush soundscape, New York-born vocalist Haale and her band craft an hypnotic aural experience that pays homage to Sufi musical traditions while courting tribal beats and fresh electronic sounds. Prepare to be transported somewhere precariously yet beautifully balanced between the ancient and modern, East and West.

Grada's music encompasses Irish, Breton, Eastern European and other diverse styles of contemporary traditional music.
