Irfan Makki, featured artist on the Light Upon Light CD compilation, has released his first solo CD with a greeting of “Peace”! A Canadian based singer/ songwriter, Irfan’s unique form of new and exciting nasheed reflects his North American upbringing, combined with the sincerity of a young man raised in a home of strong faith, surrounded by a close family of respected Qaris and protectors of Qur’an. His debut CD, “Salam” offers up poems and images with the innocence of a child-like observer, and the wisdom of an elderly man – blended with world-beat percussion, South Asian rhythms and a distinctive urban R&B vocal style.
