"Norouz" is Coming! Persian New Year

2009-03-15T10:49:00.010+03:30

Norouz (meaning "New Day") is the traditional Iranian new year holiday celebrated by Iranian people and initiated in Ancient Iran. Apart from Iran, the celebration has spread in many other parts of the world including parts of West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, Northwestern China, the Caucasus, between kurdish population of Turkey, the Crimea, Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo and the Republic of Macedonia.
Norouz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the Iranian year. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox (the start of spring in the northern hemisphere), which usually occurs on March 21 or the previous/following day depending on where it is observed.
The term Norouz first appeared in Persian records in the second century AD, but it was also an important day during the time of the Achaemenids (c. 648-330 BC), where kings from different nations under the Persian empire used to bring gifts to the emperor (Shahanshah) of Persia on Norouz.

Haft Sin or the seven 'S's is a major tradition of Norouz. The haft sin table includes seven specific items starting with the letter 'S' or Sin (س) in Persian Alphabet. The items symbolically correspond to seven creations and holy immortals protecting them. The Haft Sin has evolved over time, but has kept its symbolism. Traditionally, families attempt to set as beautiful a Haft Sin table as they can, as it is not only of traditional and spiritual value, but also noticed by visitors during Norouzi visitations and is a reflection of their good taste.

The Haft Sin items are:

sabzeh - wheat, barley or lentil sprouts growing in a dish - symbolizing rebirth
samanu- a sweet pudding made from wheat germ - symbolizing affluence
senjed - the dried fruit of the oleaster tree - symbolizing love
sir - garlic - symbolizing medicine
sib - apples - symbolizing beauty and health
somaq - sumac berries - symbolizing (the color of) sunrise
serkeh - vinager - symbolizing age and patience

Happy Norooouuuuuuzz!!!

Tehran; Really Beautiful!

From my heart to Yanni

2008-12-08T02:31:00.013+03:30

Hello Yanni and everyone who read this,

Yanni's music.

Almost everyone have listened. and communicated at the beginning. After hearing the first Note. The reality is that his new music is very different than his old music. I believe that his new music is very good but it's not like his old music.

So... . He is human, he can change his mind. But.....we loved Yanni. his decisions. his mentality.
He looked at the music as a Passion. as a Love. not a business.We want our old Yanni and what his music stands for back!

I'm one of those who supported his new music and I became an All-Star too. but it's a reality that I didn't do that work for anyone except Yanni.
We're here for Yanni.
For his music. That lovely music which moves our souls. moves us to our dreams. to an unbelievable world.
I think he must remember his old days. In Kalamata. with his parents.
He must remember his walks in the Nature. with his Dad!

I believe that he don't know anything about the new decisions, like Voice fan club.
We love YANNI fan club. I know that it's just a name. but we're here for that name. we love seeing Yanni everywhere. Seeing Yanni make decisions, make music, and so on.

Yanni always said his music is peaceful. Everyone know that too.
But with the new decisions....!
$19.99 maybe is not so much money. but somebody like me, is unable to pay. In Iran there's no credit cards. How can I join it?
All of us know that there's lots of people around the world who are not able to find food just for one day!
Peoples in poverty, starvation, war and any other pains that we know.
THIS IS PEACE??!!!
I believe that it can't be Yanni who made decisions!
at the end please watch this clip!
WE LOVE THIS YANNI.
What do you think?

I hope that Yanni can read it.

Sina Ghanbari, Iran

Yanni's Biography

2008-06-26T01:19:00.000+04:30

Birth Name : Yiannis Hrysomallis (Pronounced Chrysomallis)
Born : November 14 1954
Origin : Kalamata , Greece
Genre : Contemporary Instrumental
Occupations : Composer , Pianist
Instruments : Piano , Keyboard
Years active : c. 1980–present

Biography

Yanni is a self-taught pianist who began his musical career by giving recitals for family members. Early in his life, he was also a competitive swimmer in Greece and set a national record in the 50-meter freestyle competition. He later attended the University of Minnesota and earned a B.A. in psychology. After graduation, Yanni chose to attempt a career in music, although he could not read music and had no formal training. Using his own form of musical shorthand, he began writing original works.

While a student at the University of Minnesota, Yanni joined an up-and-coming local group called Chameleon, which was headed by drummer Charlie Adams. Chameleon earned some modest commercial success touring throughout the Midwest, particularly in the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin,Illions and South Dakota. Eventually, Yanni grew tired of the rock and roll lifestyle and focused solely on his instrumental career as a soloist. He moved to Los Angeles and eventually formed a small band including Charlie Adams and John Tesh.

Dare to Dream was released in 1992. It was Yanni’s first Grammy-nominated album and featured "Aria", a song based on The Flower Duet and popularized by an award-winning British Airways commercial. A second Grammy-nominated album, In My Time , was released in 1993.

Yanni's breakthrough commercial success came with the release of his album and video, Yanni Live at the Acropolis, which was filmed on September 23, 1993 at the 2,000-year-old Herod Atticus Theater in Athens,Greece , and released in 1994. This was Yanni’s first live album and utilized a full orchestra under the supervision of conductor Shahrdad Rohani, in addition to his core band. Subsequently, the concert was broadcast in the US on PBS and quickly became one of their most popular programs ever, having been seen in 65 countries by half a billion people. It has almost continuously remained on the charts since its release and is the second best-selling music video of all time, selling more than 7 million copies worldwide. A composition from this album, "Acroyali/Standing in Motion", was determined to have the "Mozart Effect", by the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine because it was similar to Mozart's K 448 in tempo, structure, melodic and harmonic consonance and predictability.

In March of 1997, Yanni became one of the few Western artists permitted to perform and record at the Taj Mahal in India. Later that year he performed at the Forbidden City in China. From these two events he created his next live album and video, Tribute, which was released in 1997.

In 2000, after a two-year sabbatical, Yanni released his first studio album in seven years: If I Could Tell You

Yanni also toured in 2003–2004 with the debut of the Ethnicity album extending his "One World, One People" philosophy. This album sparked what would become the 4th largest concert tour of the year ranked by Billboard Magazine.

He kicked off his 2004–2005 "Yanni Live!" tour at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada, and his next live album and video, Yanni Live! The Concert Event was released in 2006.

His music is frequently described as "new age", though he prefers the term "contemporary instrumental".

Hi,
First I want to give a biography of Yanni from a trusty source for those who are interested in Yanni and his music.
I think his music is so peaceful and hopeful.
He and his music have a lot of fan around the world too.
