Album Notes

HuDost is a Music ensemble whose core musicians are singer/songwriters Moksha Sommer and JemalWade Hines.

What commenced as an acoustic trio project has developed into a fully produced ensemble with Linda Worster, George Tortorelli, Dan Walters, John de Kadt, Joshua Greenbaum and other occasional guests; all with pages on MySpace!

HuDost performances range from the duo of Moksha and JemalWade to the full ensemble mode, which includes performance art, video installation and dance.

HuDost has just released their first CD of all original material titled ‘Seedling’ with engineer/producer Gil Morales. HuDost describes this project as being a range of style from 'Alternative World Music' to 'Country and Eastern'. The new CD is out now and available to order.

Over the last year, HuDost toured New Mexico and Arizona and performed in LA as well as touring Europe and performing regularly in the Northeast. Over the next several months they will tour the East and West coasts and will be joined, on several dates, by LA based, critically acclaimed, Latin world fusion band ‘Incendio’.

'In an Eastern Rose Garden' was the debut release on their own independent Open Sesame Music label and was produced by Jemal Wade Hines and mixed by Oz Fritz, known for his work with Bill Laswell, Tom Waits and many others.

The CD comes in a beautifully designed digipak with cover art by Hafizullah and Perego; It comes with a sixteen page color booklet with lyrics, photos and Michael Green's art.

A beautifully elegant interpretation of modern and classical Sufism
author: Imam Salim Chishti
I love this CD! Many artists, in the past, have tried to give new life to the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan, Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi, and the others on this CD, through music. None has done as elegant a job as Hu Dost! The three beautiful voices harmonize in a compelling and evocative atmosphere, the rhythms are an echo to your own heart. The instrumentals add a grace to the songs that inspires, rather than detracting from the message. Visually, the CD package is a treasure with the book insert designed by Jemal and with artwork from Micheal Greene and others. I whole-heartedly endorse and recommend this CD first to anyone who is interested in the Chishtiyya lineage as it has come forth in the West, secondly, to anyone who love first class music that brings forth one's spiritual nature, and lastly to anyone who just plain loves great music.

These beautiful atmospheric, warm and resonant songs weave the evocative, exquisite poetry from Muslim mystic poets, including the well-known Sufi, Rumi, as well as Pir-O-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan and Yunus Emre of the Rifai Marufi Order. With stylistic colors of folk, new age and pop presented with the colorful harmonic vocubulary of the East, this gentle album delicately pairs the two art forms with great success.
