Our beloved duo Madota is back on Saisons with their first original EP. A project that embodies a pivotal chapter for them after a long time apart on different sides of the world.
After experiencing humanity on pause from different coordinates, Behnam and Mehran finally reunited in Berlin, picked up the energy where they left off and dove straight into the studio with a new approach to their creative process.
The tracks embody Madota's overflow of emotions that come up in reviving their relationship with their roots while also honouring the courage of their people in their fight for freedom in Iran.
'Roobah' is playful with colorful roots. The duo created this track from blending piano pieces of Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou - an Ethiopian nun who they grew up to love, mixed with Ahmad Shamloo's audio recreation of "The Little Prince". The audio tapes and CDs of Shamloo's work became illegal after the Islamic Revolution.
'Del' is the deeper track of the pair. The groove is rooted in a dense and weighed down rhythm coupled with shreds of dusty pianos. Behnam's voice guides the story, singing 'Del' which means 'Heart' in Farsi. The lyrics come from an old Persian poem that goes something like:
O heart, if you love Seek comfort In the heart of day and night
We hope you resonate with this release as much as we do!
Proceeds from this release will go to support artists in Iran.
