BEN SOM
The World's Face
BEN SOM'S first release album "THE WORLD'S FACE" inspired by a long journey through Asia blends genuinely arranged rocky guitar riffs, long developing melodic lines, Ethno instrumental parts - in particular featuring the Persian santoor - with poetic lyrics pointing to the supreme. It also includes the central Long Song track "One World One Sky", a musical journey dedicated and at the same time appealing to the people of the world to strive for self-development and harmonious co-existence as an inevitable spiritual necessity.
