HAALE
|---------------+--------------------------------------------------|
| | HAALE (pronounced HA?-leh) was born in New York |
| | City, of Iranian descent and grew up, as many |
| ....... | first generation kids do, with two cultures, two |
| (Embedded | languages, two worlds to assimilate. Whether |
| image moved | singing her own lyrics in English or those of |
| to file: | Sepehri, Forough, and the mystical Sufi poet |
| pic20710.jpg) | Rumi, in Persian, Haale's cinematic and collaged |
| | texts are woven through a trance-inducing |
| | tapestry of percussion, strings and shimmering |
| | electric guitars. Regarding performance, Haale |
| | says, "I like to get myself and my audience into |
| | a hypnotic state when I play..." |
| | |
| | Her distinctive style and incendiary live shows |
| | have led Haale to collaborations with Sean |
| | Lennon, Tchad Blake, and most extensively with |
| | producer and composer Dougie Bowne. In January |
| | 2007, Haale released her first body of work |
| | encompassing two CDs entitled 'Morning' and |
| | 'Paratrooper.' Haale has performed at venues |
| | such as Lincoln Center, Joshua Tree Music |
| | Festival, National Geographic, and Carnegie |
| | Hall?s Zankel Hall. Haale?s ensemble includes |
| | Matt Kilmer, John Shannon, Dougie Bowne, Shane |
| | Shanahan, Megan Weeder, and Ken Hashimoto. |

'Haale... underscores the evolution and transformation of
centuries-old art forms as they adapt to the new realities of a
multiethnic city...' THE NEW YORK TIMES
"New York-born vocalist Haale and her band craft an hypnotic aural
experience...Prepare to be transported somewhere precariously yet
beautifully balanced between the ancient and modern, East and West."
