SHAMS OUD - MEMO PARIS

The House of the Sun

Shams means "sun" in Arabic. It is said that the Persian God Mithra climbed aboard his golden tank from dawn, and whipped his horses to pull the sun until dusk. At night, it was swallowed by a man, to come back to life from dawn... The heat dilates our hearts, in a body with pepper, ginger, saffron. Follow the throbbing music of the Oud, its major tonka bean chords, its wooden dreams, its promises of glorious love.
