【Legacy mini @ amba】 Aashti 汎絲路樂團 「山與夜鶯」專輯發表會

Aashti Silkroad Ensemble “Mountains and Nightingales” CD Release Concert

從巴爾幹、土耳其、阿拉伯世界、伊朗、直到中國新疆，成軍於 2008 年，

堪稱華人世界唯一、曲目與風格貫穿歐亞大陸，

並融入現代多樣音樂色彩的 Aashti 汎絲路樂團，

多次受邀參加國內各大博物館、藝術季、知名大專院校舉辦展演與講座活動。

在台灣，Aashti 汎絲路樂團可說是「絲路音樂」的代名詞。

從巴爾幹悠揚的山歌到歡快的舞曲，從蘇菲派的神秘曲調到中東世界充滿動感的鼓語，

從伴隨著古波斯詩人吟唱的美麗節奏到中亞高山與草原所滋養出、那綺麗動人的旋律，

橫亙絲路的古代傳奇如今跨越時空，用音樂向人們訴說這當中一篇篇精采絕倫的奇幻故事。

這次 Aashti 將發表籌備年餘，史上第一張馬其頓與台灣合體的巴爾幹民謠大碟中，

多首歌曲全新創作，載著一整列駱駝商隊的壯闊與驚喜，以音樂為這個世界的和平與茁壯祈願。


Aashti A Musical Caravan that Delivers the Sound of Peace and Hope

In the summer of 2008, a concert in Taipei brought together six “Balkan music lovers”, from Macedonia and Taiwan, to create one of the most colourful pages written on Balkan music in Formosa, an Island full of its own rich cultural vitality.  Aashti's musical spectrum encompasses Balkan mountain songs and dance music, mysterious tunes of Orthodox Christianity and Sufism, as well as Mediterranean accentuated charms of drumming.  Always being at the crossroad between East and West, the Balkan music has long sought to reconcile the differences in the musical styles which encounter and reveal a universal harmony that underlines them. Piece by piece, we are stunned at the wonder of all the stories. Through Aashti, this music is again striving to transcend the space between East and West and reveal the simple truth that “We are one”.
