Kayhan Kalhor & Ali Bahrami-Fard - "I Will not Stand Alone" 

"I Will Not Stand Alone"
Kamāncheh: Kayhan Kalhor
Santūr: Ali Bahrami-Fard
"I Will Not Stand Alone", is a spellbinding meditation on life, struggle for freedom and the insistence and power of hope. This is magnificent music that portrays a timeless, universal, human story about mankind's need for hope and freedom.
Kalhor plays a custom-made instrument on this album, the shah kaman ("the king of bows"), built by Australian craftsman Peter Biffin. This new instrument is a variant of the bowed kamanche. With a fifth lower string and a series of sympathetic harmonic strings, its sound is similar to the Western viola or cello, and to the Indian bowed sarangi. Kalhor is joined by frequent member of his ensembles, Ali Bahrami Fard, on the rarely heard, low register, hammered bass santour. This instrument has sound close to that of the piano. Their musical rapport is telepathic as they seamlessly complete each other's elaborate articulations.
