Zarbang Ensemble: Rengineh CD Track Listing

A list by checkmate

Zarbang Ensemble Rengineh (2003)
Zarbang Ensemble was founded in 1996 in Germany by the leading Iranian percussionists Behnam Samani, Morteza Ayan, and Siavash Yazdanifar with double aim of introducing Iranian percussive instruments to international audiences and combining them with percussive and melodic instruments from other cultures. Starting in 2001, a new lineup of musicians has given Zarbang renewed vitality and created innovations in its sound. In addition to Behnam Samani the new Zarbang includes the highly acclaimed musicians, Javid Afsari Bad, Pejman Hadadi, Mehregan and Beza Samani.\n\nThe new Zarbang's first collaborative work, Bengineh was recorded live in concert in Munich. A product of an intense two-day rehearsal period which brought the artists together from various parts of the world, Bengineh reflects each member's unique vision and virtuosity on a variety of instruments including santur (hammered dulcimer), and the percussive tombak, daf, zarb-e-zoorkhane, dohol, damman, pandariq (frame drum), taas, nagara, congas, djembe, water drum, hang drum (melodic steel drum), shakers, bells, and toys (effects). By fusing these instruments together which originate from different cultures, Zarbang Ensemble creates a soundscape which is at once new yet true to the essence and origin of each instrument. Zarbang's new sound entails the use of vocalization, melody and various effects in the context of percussion. The ensemble's repertoire of composed pieces and structured improvisations are dynamic; meditative and internal on the one hand and ecstatic and trance inducing on the other, drawing upon sufi and ancient Iranian rhythms where percussive instruments and specifically the daf play a pivotal role in inducing heightened states of awareness.
