The Candle - Mehdi Aminian

Words by Mehdi Aminian:
"This piece is inspired by a footage I saw, in which Taliban was burning a harmonium. This sight has followed me ever since. We want to turn this fire that is produced by the burning of an instrument into something that can make fire for the path to come. We are sharing a lot of pains in our region; I am from Iran, and just like in Afghanistan, we have so many things that are not in their path, not in their right way. Hopefully, these fires that these demons are making will provide the light for the path that we will follow in the future."
