DESCRIPTION: Irfan is a Bulgarian World Music & Ethereal Wave band. The name of the band is borrowed from the Sufi terminology and can be translated from Arabic as "gnosis", "mystic knowledge" or "revelation"...Indeed Irfan's music is a World Fusion and it is strongly influenced by the sacred and folk music traditions of Bulgaria, the Balkans, Turkey, Iran, Caucasus, the Middle East and North Africa, as well as by the musical and spiritual heritage of Byzantium and Medieval Europe, yet it retains its own original sound.
