The Sound Of Sagar Veena

Tip! The Sahaja Veena is a stunning stringed instrument with a unique and beautiful design reminiscent of the Vichitra Veena and Chitra Veena. With a wider range than the traditional Indian veena and a deep, warm sound, the instrument can produce compelling melodies and delicate ornamentation, often evoking deep emotions, and is therefore also known as the “Sagar” (‘Sagar’ meaning “sea” in Hindi). “(Sagar means ”ocean" in Hindi).

Noor Zehra Kazim is the world's only Sagar Vina player. Her father, Raza Kazim, who invented the Sagavina, is a renowned Pakistani lawyer, philosopher, photographer, musicologist and music producer. My colleagues worked very hard to get Noor Zehra Kazim to perform in China, and it was more difficult than anyone could have imagined. Fortunately, we were able to get her to perform at the 8th Tomorrow Music Festival and record the album at Liu Ying's studio in Shenzhen.

It should also be noted that due to the time limitations of the medium, the opening tape and the 45 rpm LP contain two tracks, while the CD contains three full length tracks. Therefore, when you buy either the opening tape or the LP, we include a CD of the short version, and we thank you for your support in purchasing the physical recordings. You will hear Noor Zehra Kazim playing with great affection. This young and ancient sound, this airy beauty, is something to be savored for a long time to come.
