Ross Daly and his friends send their message of peace and share their love for music by creating a musical rainbow ... The program is comprised of compositions by Ross Daly which incorporate elements from the traditions of all of the participants. Traditional melodies from Crete, Azerbaijan, Iran, and India intertwine, thus demonstrating clearly the common ground enjoyed by these traditions. ***** "All of us are looking for the same things in music, something which each of us "sees" clearly in the eyes of the others.It is for this reason that we have come together, not for the sake of demonstrating or proving to anyone that Indians, Iranians and Greeks can play music together.For us, that is simply an obvious and well-known fact that doesn't actually need any demonstrating or proving at all. On the contrary, the unique sense of fulfillment that each of us experienced is something that we feel honored to share with anyone who wishes to listen."
