On Opium

Opium Moon is Kama Sutra music, a sensual, groovy, timeless debut collaboration of celebrated master musicians from Israel, Iran and the US making peace through harmony. With compositions that call on the sacred, classical traditions of the West and East, as well as hypnotic ancient grooves, the name Opium Moon is inspired by a poem by the great poet Hafiz. The birds’ favorite songs You do not hear, For their most flamboyant music takes place When their wings are stretched Above the trees And they are smoking the opium of pure freedom… I once asked a bird, “How is it that you fly in this gravity Of darkness?” She responded, “Love lifts Me”
