Irfan
A nostalgic, underground neofolk artist.
A unique mix of hypnotizing melodies and rhythms - an electro-acoustic World Fusion of the music of the Balkans, the Orient and Medieval Europe. IRFAN is formed in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2001. IRFAN’s electro-acoustic World Fusion sound is influenced by the sacred and folk music of the Balkans, Anatolia, Persia, the Middle East, North Africa and India, as well as by the musical and spiritual heritage of Byzantium, Medieval Europe and the Ancient Mediterranean. The band’s name is borrowed from the Sufi’s terminology and means “gnosis”, “secret knowledge” or “revelation”. And, indeed, IRFAN’s music is an invitation for a mystical trip in and beyond time. A message poetically revealed in the language of the heart. Since 2003, IRFAN has 3 released albums: Irfan 2003 - Prikosnovénie/Noir Records Seraphim 2007 - Prikosnovénie The Eternal Return 2015 - Prikosnovénie Roots - 2018 irfantheband.bandcamp.com
