The centerpiece of this project is a unique arrangement of "Khodanoor," originally composed by Ardavan Hatami and arranged by Babak Amini. Reputable producer Ali Lebaschi has adapted this emotionally charged piece for a string ensemble; sourced & provided by N I M A and guitar, which he himself performs. The lyrics of "Khodanoor" are especially significant, addressing the ongoing struggle for freedom and justice in Iran with a deep and meaningful resonance. N I M A’s contribution on violin enhances the arrangement, adding a layer of lyrical intensity that amplifies the song’s message. This collaboration not only showcases the artists' dedication to highlighting critical social issues through their music but also provides a moving tribute to those affected by the recent tragedies in Iran.
