ECM debut for a young band already making waves internationally. Cyminology proposes a unique intercultural chamber jazz, by turns poetic, sensual, melancholic, dynamic and pulsating. Based in Berlin the band features a singer of Iranian descent, an Indian drummer, a French-born pianist and a German bassist. Leader Cymin Samawatie is not only a charismatic frontwoman but also the author of most of the band’s material. She writes texts in Farsi (Persian) and sets them to her own music, often developed through improvising. As well as her own lyrics, Cymin also sings classic Sufi texts from Rumi and Hafez, masters of Persian poetry, and 20th verse of Iranian proto-feminist Farough Farrokhzãd.
