about

A signature piece in our collaboration is a setting of contemporary Iraqi poet Bader Shakir Al-Sayyab’s, poem A Stranger by the Gulf. With text selected by Iraqi string master Nawres Al-Freh (joza and violin), this new composition by Kim Cunio sees Heather Lee soar in her operatic voice while the monks chant at their deepest in a cycle of 6 beats. Here we experience longing, hope and an exquisite collaboration between the monks, Kim, Heather and Nawres; with a shared symbolism between both Tibet and Iraq as a lost homeland for the thousands of refugees forced to flee.

lyrics

Ashamso Ajmalo Fi Biladi Men Siwaha!
Hatta Althalam Honaka Ajmal Fa Howa Yah tathino Aliraq.

The sun is more beautiful in my country than any other, and darkness
Even darkness–there, is more beautiful, for it embraces Iraq.
