Strings Of Desire

Strings Of Desire showcases Iranian guitarist Behzad Aghabeigi's blend of traditional Spanish sounds, inviting Middle Eastern melodies and passionate flamenco rhythms and fire. Behzad writes, "As they say, all of life is a 'homecoming'... you never forget where you took your first breath and where you gained your first sight of life's miracle in hand... I am no different from any other mortal so my hometown is where it all started from and is the place I go back to every time I pick up my guitar and strum... The clarity of the air used to inspire my play and the nostalgia still shows me the way. Somewhere in India Flamenco was born and then traveled via the Middle East ending up somewhere in Spain... where it gathered the fame it inspired... throughout history gypsies have traveled endlessly searching for a different reality... the gypsy is loose again to find new colors in the rain... out of the new colors comes the rainbow of hope in the music of the world, stretching the rope to capture the chord that plays in our hearts in accord with the universes' road to behold the universal scope ahead of the millennium's hope."
