God Is Not a Terrorist

by Ustad Saami

God Is Not a Terrorist cover art

The 75-year-old Pakistani classical master presents a profound, entirely acoustic recording of a nearly extinct 49-note microtonal vocal system. Recorded live in his home by producer Ian Brennan, the album is a deeply spiritual, meditative plea for peace, combating the rising tide of religious extremism in his native country. It stands as a vital preservation of a complex, ancient musical lineage.
