    Niyaz is an Iranian musical trio. The group was created in 2005 by DJ, programmer/producer Carmen Rizzo, vocalist and dulcimer Azam Ali, and Loga Ramin Torkian, of the Iranian group Axiom Of Choice. "Niyaz" means "yearning" in both Persian and Urdu. Niyaz adapts Persian, Indian and Mediterranean folk sounds, poetry and songs including the poetry of Sufi mystic Rumi. The result is highly evocative: back to the origins on the one hand and by exploring other contemporary streams. Described as "mystical music with a modern edge", is primarily a blend of Sufi mysticism and trance electronica, creating a perfect example of synergy between innovation and classicism. -.-.-.-. om hari om ..... ॐ
