Nizar Rohana, Yasamin Shahhosseini, Ruven Ruppik - Sujoud (Adoration) (2026)

Oud virtuosos Nizar Rohana and Yasamin Shahhosseini collaborate on the full-length LP Sujood Adoration, released on the Kepera label as part of an initiative promoting cross-border Middle Eastern and Iranian projects. Centered on an intimate dialogue between two ouds, the record blends traditional maqam melodic writing with contemporary jazz improvisation and ethno-jazz.

Placing timbre, phrasing, and open ensemble interaction at the forefront, the album reimagines Middle Eastern traditions. Sujood Adoration offers an aesthetically refined instrumental conversation that bridges heritage, world music, and modern experimentation.
