'O Innocent Heart', the follow-up album of the succesful debut album 'Onderstroom' is released on the Belgian jazz outfit W.E.R.F. records.
This album explores the boundaries between jazz and North Indian classical music. For three years, the musicians of Iqnovara refined this musical mish mash in close collaboration with Pakistani sarod maestro Asad Qizilbash. Bandleader, guitarist, and composer Haroun Iqbal deepened his understanding of the North Indian tradition during this period, including a study trip to New Delhi to learn from Shubhendra Rao, a protégé of Ravi Shankar.
O Innocent Heart connects both musical worlds in each piece in its own way, always seeking how each musician can shine.
