Fez Meghani, founder and Chief Creative Officer of Texas-based PlaneTunity Records, also finds his rhythmic and lyrical inspiration in Ismaili devotional recitations.
Meghani and Aftab Ali, the company’s Director of Music Production, filmed their song Oh Allah at Al-Azhar Park in Cairo precisely at sunset. “The city glimmering under a warm, soulful sun during the month of Ramadan, and then the more than 30 mosques in the area all blaring the adhan within split seconds of each other was a spiritually uplifting experience,” reminisces Meghani.
Another song by Meghani, titled Every Breath, is written from the perspective of one of the birds in Farid ud-Din Attar’s 12th century classic The Conference of the Birds.
