written by: Praful & Shahzad Ali Khan

Arabesque is based on a groove you might hear in places like Abu Dhabi.
It features Praful on Indian Bamboo flutes and other instruments, Shahzad Ali Khan (Pakistan) on lead vocals, Afra Mussawisade (Iran) on percussion and Nahim Avci (Turkey) on Çura.

Mirror of the Heart is inspired by the passion, depth and devotion of Sufi, Middle-Eastern and Indian music. The mostly acoustic sound is spiced up with occasional Western (electronic) ingredients. Prafuls trademark instruments Bansuri (Indian Bamboo Flutes) & Sax lead the way, but featured are also many stringed instruments from different cultures and world percussion. An impressive line-up of guest musicians from Turkey, Persia, India and Europe supported Praful to create a rich, colorful world-sound. Praful sings lead vocals on 4 songs, the lyrics being based on English translations of poems by Sufi mystics Rumi, Hafiz and words by Praful himself. Featured guest vocalists on 2 songs each are Pakistani Sufi singer Shahzad Ali Khan and Australian Earth-chantess Peruquois.

Praful is a world-renowned sax & flute player, producer, charismatic performer and pioneer in the world music community who is at home in many different musical styles. His Billboard-charting albums have sold more than 100.000 worldwide, with a #1 hit (Sigh) on the US Jazz radio.
