Album Notes

Album Review:

“Take a walk in narrow alleys of an ancient city on the edge of Iranian desert. Absorb the sun, cool breeze blowing over from old gardens and whisper a song to yourself. Circo Cafe has created a space where you could feel all that and more. Enjoy the relaxing walk in those narrow alleys."

“It is obvious that a lot of effort has been spent on this album. Sound is rich, instrumentation is great, and production is excellent. Finally yet importantly, the beautiful CD cover and artwork has added an extra touch of quality to the release. The album has a nice relaxing tempo from one song to another. It follows a nice theme and texture. Any song in this album has a point and meaning, mostly in the form of metaphors. Its lyrics have originality with effective imagery and engage their listeners on an emotional level."

The “Circo Koocheh” album brings together some of music and art talents in Toronto to create an album of Persian contemporary music. The original idea by Circo Cafe simply was to release a charity album, made to raise financial aid for the less fortunate children of Iran.

In keeping with the spirit of the release, all proceeds will go to a charity that helps vulnerable children in Iran.
