Lady Fancifull
Floating on Thermals
This is music of wide horizons, spacious and with no sense of strain in its production from the musicians.
She studied at the University of Alberta, earning a Bachelor of Science before applying to the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry.
This is particularly, and spectacularly, true of Homa Niknam’s vocals. You can really hear how open her throat must be to produce these soaring, floating, turning sounds, ululations, undulating vibrato, pure held notes, sudden stops.
This music touches something ancient, almost primeval, a melancholy, and an awestruck acceptance; humankind, gazing up at the stars, aware of distances and scale
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky
to quote another troubadour (Leonard Cohen)
The musicians are Hossein Alizadeh on setar, Madjid Khaladj, percussion, and Homa Niknam – vocals don’t describe the half of it.
