Sondre Bratland and Javed Bashir
Dialogue (KKV)

On a journey to Lahore in Pakistan Norwegian folksinger Sondre Bratland met the renowned Qawwali singer Javed Bashir. Together they performed psalms and hymns from their different religious traditions in mosques in Pakistans old cultural capital. Then Javed Bashir went to Norway and made several recordings with Sondre in two Norwegian churches. Apart from a hand drum on a few tracks, the record is all vocals. The Peace Choir of Damascus, Syria also took part in recordings made in Syria. In the words of Sondre Bratland, "It is interesting to realize that just as so many cultures have similar lullabies for their children, it is striking how alike our approaches are when expressing a prayer to our Creator."

Please note! Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
