Irfan is a Bulgarian world music band that was founded in 2001. The band’s name is taken from the Arabic/Persian word Irfan. Though similar in style to established bands such as Dead Can Dance, Love Is Colder Than Death, Sarband, and Vas, Irfan is known for its extensive use of a choir of male vocals in addition to the ethereal and mystic female vocals of Denitza Seraphimova in combination with an assortment of traditional medieval percussive, string and wind instruments including the darbouka, daf, bendir, oud, saz, santoor, ghaida, duduk and viola da gamba.
Irfan’s music and reliance on traditional instruments is based on a blend of the musical influences common to Bulgaria, and thus represents a blend of medieval European, Balkan and Middle-Eastern styles.
The band was first signed by the French label Prikosnovénie and made its debut appearance on Prikosnovénie’s Fairy World compilation of various medieval and heavenly voices bands in 2003. Irfan’s first (self-titled) album was also released in Europe that same year by Prikosnovénie, and released in North America by Noir Records. Some of the songs released on recent compilations were not included on Irfan’s debut release.
The band released their second album, entitled Seraphim in October 2007.

The result is highly evocative: back to the origins on the one hand and by exploring other contemporary streams. Verses set to music of mystic poets of past centuries, creating a perfect example of synergy between innovation and classicism. -. -. -. -. om hari om .....

"this band is better than that one" argument is stupid. Appreciate this band's brilliance without comparing them to others.
