"Mehr" is Pouya Mahmoodi's debut solo album. The Iranian multi instrumentalist, singer and songwriter, creates a new sound on this album which features legendary jazz fusion drummer Billy Cobham, co-founder of the pioneering Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Swiss musicians Luca Leombruni on Bass and Vladimir Jaggi on Drums. Mahmoodi's fusion of Iranian Traditional Music with jazz and rock, together with his unique guitar playing style, makes Iranian music accessible to the western ears. While in the media today the word Iran is linked to hate and war, Mehr (meaning Love in Farsi) sends a message of love to all the people in the world.
