History before the album :"Guy duris was born on the left bank. He was raised in heady french sunshine, and matured in the halls of european culture. He's a modern ministrel,he wanderedand sang his songs, and began a romance whith the ancient Arabic guitar, the oud. Journeying eastward,his music turned to the east. In iran, he met Farshid Golesorkhi, the scion of a respected persian family.farshid, decorated by the shah of iran for this drumming, felt that eastern rhythms could be applied to western music. He found an eager co-experimenter in Guy. Together they traveled -Guy with his guitar and oud." Guy Duris
