Majnun, that childlike wonder that embraces the inner workings of the world and cares little for societal taboos, has shaped the artistic synthesis of Persian multiinstrumentalists Houman Pourmehdi and Pirayeh Pourafar, and Bosnian concert accordionist Merima Kljuco. These remarkable performances are both beautifully matched in purpose and flexible enough to integrate unique contributions by the legendary voices of Theodore Bikel, Alireza Shahmohammadi, Anthony May and gheychak master Mani Bolouri. Grounded in their respective traditions, and joined by the belief in an infinite shared by people of all cultures, the music that pours forth from the musicians of Majnun is as unconventional, unpredictable, and enchanted as its namesake.

This is a beautiful World Fusion album between Eastern European music and Persian music. Lian Ensemble is consistently good and many of their albums are good examples of fusion between Persian classical music and music from other parts of the world. They have done unique fusions too like with Tuvan throat-singing in the album "The Window". Of course world fusion isn't for everyone, because it is neither here nor there for the purist and may sound incongruous to other listeners. But I highly recommend all of the albums by this group. I have them all.
