SOLEY

SOLEIMAN VASEGHI
b.5 BAHMAN 1325/25 JANUARY 1947,TEHRAN
WHEN I WAS INVITED TO WORK WITH MY FRIENDS SOLEY AND JAMSHID BASTANI FOR A CONCERT IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA, IN 1995,I DID NOT HESITATE TO JOIN THEM,BECAUSE I CONSIDERED BOTH AS IRANIAN INTELLECTUALS INVOLVED IN ART.
SOLEY IS BORN A SUFI,AS HE WAS BORN IN A SUFI FAMILY.HIS WORKS ARE OUR WITNESSES IN THIS CLAIM,AS THEY ARE INFLUENCED BY POETS AND MYSTICS SUCH AS RUMI,HAFEZ,RUDAKI AND SEPEHRI.,they are listed:
VAGHEE/INCIDENT
AB/WATER
RANGIN KAMAN/RAINBOW
SOLEY ,WHO LIVES IN TORONTO,CANADA.IS NOW MORE INVOLVED IN PERFORMING GHOL AND GHAVALI,AN OLD TRADITION OF RECITAL AND SONGS,ACCOMPANIED WITH MYSTIC MUSIC.
WITH MY OTHER FRIEND AND A MUSIC MASTER,NADER MAJD ,AND  also Nima Majd,
IN DIFFERENT EXPERIENCEs we CALLED IT :AVA AND NAVA,AND performed and PUBLISHED A CD ,titled:
AZ NIMA VA DARYA/FROM NIMA AND THE SEA,
MOJ BOOK,WASHINGTON,D.C.,1995.
darya beh lahjehye nima mikhanad
darya kenar sahat-e sangin-e shab ast
darya beh lahjehye nima mikhanad/
the sea  sings nima's accent
the seashore is heavy realm of the night
