Saba

The Wind That Comes From The East.

It blows in the early morning to make the blossoms glow.

Saba was established in 2021 in Amsterdam. Together with Khorshid Dadbeh, Lucie Lelaurian, and Jawa Manla they will go on a musical journey to the East.

The project contains newly composed music by the three musicians, where Arabic poetry would have an important aspect.

In this composition, you would expect a breathtaking musical experience where you would hear the passion of the three different musical traditions. Iranian, Armenian, and Arabic.
