Babak Soleimani, Persian santoor, and Veena Kulkarni-Rankin, keys, intertwine Eastern sounds with jazz-inspired riffs and drum Chris Pyke lays down the groove. Dusk falling…that deep blue sky right before night. AgawDilim - Tagalog for “dusk falling” and Kurdish for “awakened heart”- brings together Persian santoor and jazz-influenced keys to create a vibrant and global sound. Babak Soleimani fuses Iranian sounds with contemporary grooves, pianist Veena Kulkarni-Rankin joins with blues and classically-influenced keyboard work, and drums and bass bring out their international rhythms.
