WE ARE MAJNOON
“Channeling Eastern Elegance into a Universal Symphony”
Majnoon, created by M. Kayhan Yakarlar (KhaiKhan), the founder of Rist Istanbul and Rist Records, Majnoon is a musical odyssey that gracefully integrates the richness of the East into a tapestry of universal sounds.
With the guiding philosophy of “Music Rising from the East,” Majnoon undertakes the noble mission of uniting the world through the authenticity of its local roots. Nourished by the cultural essence of its surroundings, Majnoon embraces the belief in the universality of music, composing pieces that transcend linguistic, religious, and racial boundaries. In the fleeting moments of our lives, Majnoon recognizes the collective journey we share on this exquisite planet, striving to imprint its sonic signature on the tapestry of existence.
In this brief and ephemeral existence, Majnoon seeks to leave an enduring legacy through its sounds, celebrating the diversity inherent in our shared humanity. Driven by a profound desire and love for the art, Majnoon crafts each performance as an improvised manifestation of passion, responding to the energy of the moment with an authentic and heartfelt expression.
Isn’t each of us an impassioned lover in our own right?
Majnoon’s performances skillfully weave oriental, ethnic, electronic, and spiritual tones into a harmonious blend, echoing the soul’s deepest resonances. Accompanied by a diverse array of instruments such as the ney (reed flute), duduk, clarinet, kanun, darbuka, percussion, balaban, saxophone, kabak kemane, cumbus, baglama, vocals, and more, Majnoon’s sonic palette paints a vivid portrait of cultural diversity.
As Majnoon embarks on this journey through sound and emotion, it invites listeners to join a mesmerizing expedition where borders dissolve, and the essence of music transcends all limitations. In its artistic expression, Majnoon reverberates the universal truth that music is the language that harmoniously unites us all.

“Emotions” We Are Majnoon
Ξ
🦋❤️🦋
What we have lost and what we do not appreciate while being with us, our cultures, our disasters and happiness, which we strive to keep alive and convey, are our loved ones and what we expect to love. In the assembly of friends, we wanted to remember the works made by the artists who put their feelings into music and shared them with us. We are grateful to every artist who adds a voice to the silence. We all have beautiful memories that we have collected, maybe in one of these works, we unleashed one of the memories in our subconscious, and we wrote our feelings that night, and we wrote another memory in the diary with our friends. Based on these feelings, we wanted to perform such a performance at Joali Being in the Maldives, where we love to make music and all of our employees and founders, without rehearsing again on our last day, based on these feelings. We turned our emotions into such sounds and we wanted to share them with you. That moment was very precious to us. greetings to every heart that knows how to love.

Improvising in music
improvisation, also called Extemporization, in music, the extemporaneous composition or free performance of a musical passage, usually in a manner conforming to certain stylistic norms but unfettered by the prescriptive features of a specific musical text.
Majnoon feat Den-Ze – Dreams (Improvising)
Bu toplanış, içinde bulunduğumuz karanlık dönemin bizlerde bıraktığı etkilerinin yansımasıdır… Müziğimizle; dokunmak, akıtmak istedik gözyaşlarımızı. Umarız bu yaşadıklarımız yaşayacaklarımıza kefaret olur. Umarız soylarımıza dünyayı yaşanası halde miras bırakabiliriz. Gelecek günleri şimdiden inşa etmeliyiz.
Yoksa yaşanacak her gün karanlık olacak!
This gathering is a reflection of the effects of the dark period we are in … With our music; We wanted to touch and shed our tears. We hope that what we have experienced will become atonement for what we will live. We hope that we can inherit the world to our lineages while living. We must build the days to come already.
Otherwise, every day will be dark!

What would I do? With the fact of ‘being’? How much we desire the quintessence of existence to reveal itself, become visible to cognition and perception, and take us over.
Says Deniz Özçelik
This Ghazal type poem explains the resignation, the devotion to the unexplainable. The song invites the audience to a meditative and englightening, pledging solidarity with the universe, into stillness; by letting go of all types of discrimination causing from the concepts of egotism and individualism.

Sen sende böyle parlak Ben bana ne yeterİm Sende aşk böyle berrak Puslu suyumu neylerİm Sen burda böyle duru Benim Ah’ım sorgulu Kendİmle kaldığımda Taşlı kuyumu neylerim “El gökte tarifi zor” Hayrı sen evrene sor Senİn ateşin burda kor Ben bunu seyreylerim İsmin ağzımda büyür Gündüz ağar gece uyur Senin dünya, emir buyur Ben döngümü neylerİm Ben döngümü neylerim Sazım elime çok gelir Söze dökmek zor gelİr Tek başıma nas’lolur Ben bana ne söylerİm Elin dersi çok imiş Bende derman yok imiş Deva sende tokumuş Ben cefamı neylerim Söylersin güzel güzel Her lafın özüne özel Sen beni devral Ben kendİmİ neylerim Neylerim Sen devral güzel beni Ben kendimi Neylerİm

WHAT WOULD I DO
You, this luminous in me How could I suffice myself Inside you, love, this transparent What would I do with my cloudy water? You, standing here, this limpid My sigh is in query When I remain with myself What would I do with my stoned well? Hands in the sky, hard to describe Beg of the cosmos for the good fortune Your fire goes aizle only here I would observe this Your name grows in my mauth The dawn breaks, night sleeps The world is yours, say the world What would I do with my cycle My saz brims over my hands So hard to put into words How would it be like, on my own What would I tell myself? Word has it that strangers have lots of lessons I don’t have the cure in me The remedy abound in you(full in you) What would I do with my long suffering? You sing, peacefully Every spiel of yours is unique to your essence You, take over the ‘me’, What would I do with myself

“𝑨𝒓𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆”
Meşk Bu ezgi diyor ki; Dostların olduğu mecliste rota hep doğru yol üzere. Nifak sahipleride gelse buraya yıkasın ruhunu, arınsın meşk ile Gelende olur, gidende olur, zararda olur karda Hayat bu ineriz çıkarız, beşeriz şaşarız Yeter ki doğruluk bize yakın olsun.

Lyrics
Meşk
…and hereby the melody says: Where true friends gather, the route is always headed to the righteous. Even if some members of an opposite faction pay for a visit, let their souls be cleansed and purified with the same Meşk with us . Some will arrive, some will leave, There will be lost and there will be pain, There will be win and there will be gain, This is the life as it is: we will rise, and we will fall. We can make it and we can lose it, As long as the righteous is within. Majnoon

This is the story of two lovers.
When Katip was still a child, he met his neighbor Nazli in the summer, and until they reunited, a love erupted. Katip was a naive new graduate who was willing to work in the governmental office, but favoritism was very effective in those days, and governmental offices did not recruit him. On the other hand, Katip was a music lover with a mystic voice. One day the Sultan saw him singing, attracted to his voice and invited him to the palace. His performance was highly appreciated and he was appointed to the governmental office he deserved with the favoritism he needed. However, Nazlı and her father were sent to exile where his father died. When she returned from exile, she was forced to marry to a nobleman. Yet, she was deeply in love with Katip. That’s when a very sad and unhappy period began. On the other hand, trying to win Nazlı, Nobleman offered money to Katip to give up from Nazlı, but Katip refused. After all, Katip’s love and determination overrode, and the lovers rejoined. In this video clip we are inspired by “Katibim”, one of the classics of Turkish cinema.

Nihavend Longa By Majnoon Out OnCowpilation #5 By Copy-Cow.
This is a web of lubricity where Cows celebrate; where night and day are nothing else but carnal pleasure; where despite all this nothingness, no tedium is experienced.
The movement of sound abounds in vital warmth which never harms the probability or impedes the unfolding. Twenty characters and a half dozen intrigues are going at one time and they illuminate each other with pure love and agricultural enthusiasm resting the mind.
To sump up, the queer blend of inconstant tenderness, sensual intoxication and merry comedy produces a remarkable but dangerous Cowpilation.
