The same poets; Mohammad Ibrahim Jafari and Erik Hillestad and the same composers; Mahsa Vahdat herself, Sigvart Dagsland and Knut Reiersrud are involved. The same Norwegian\/Iranian band, with Knut Reiersrud and Jarle Bernhoft (guitars), Mathias Eick (trumpet, bass and vibes), Rune Arnesen (drums) and Pasha Hanjani (ney), is accompanying the singers, supplied with one new, important element: The kamancheh player Shervin Mohajer. But because these people have worked together for a while, both on the stage and in the studio, the 10 songs with meetings between Persian and American music are shaped in a more mature and organic way than before, and the ethno\/blues fusion band sounds in a way less “polite” and careful than on the first album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrack list: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.

Over time, the story has turned into many legends and tall tales. The wise men have become three in number, they have been given names and in many traditions have become kings. We imagine them walking with their camels and a small group of servants, and while historians claim they may have originated in Iran, where astrology was popular at the time, the myth prefers to suggest that they came from different places, one even from Africa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Christmas, Mathias Eick, Ertan Tekin and Pasha Hanjani have added a new chapter to the legends of the three wise men; they have neither blue blood nor are they servants. They are musicians, and they come from the North, the East and the West. Their presents are not gold, frankincense or myrrh. They want to pay tribute to the child with the most precious yet most fragile of all treasures: Music. And since Bethlehem is a walled and closed city – especially to Iranians – they make their journey to Istanbul instead, because in the city where East meets West, where South meets North, and where past meets present, the child still sits on Mary's lap.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThree wise musicians with roots in several religions have helped renew the interpretation of the songs of Christmas in our time. The arrangements are by Mathias Eick. The recordings were made in Bugges Room in Oslo and the Bulgarian church in Istanbul. Sound recording engineers Daniel Wold and Martin Abrahamsen have faithfully captured the true authentic sound of the performance site. Produced by Erik Hillestad, \"Tre vise menn\" (The three wise men) is right in the crossroads of KKV’s productions in recent years, where we feature a series of albums with instrumental interpretations of Christmas songs and then there is our keen focus on cultural and religious encounters between East and West.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrack list: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
