Niyaz

Known for its electroacoustic trance music, Niyaz is “an evolutionary force in contemporary Middle Eastern music” (Huffington Post). The band embraces the collision of the old and the new as a means to create something entirely its own. With The Fourth Light Project, Niyaz pays tribute to Rabia al-Basri, the first female Sufi mystic and poet. Persian folk songs and poetry meld with the immersive projections of artist Jerome Delapierre and the sacred dance of the dervish to create a shared experience that’s both sensual and devotional.
