about

Registan means a sandy place, a desert in Persian language. But Registan of Samarkand is a different story. In the ancient city of Samarkand, ruled by the Timurid dynasty it was the heart of the city. A public square, a trade center or bazaar, a caravanserai -a place for resting for weary travelers on the Silk Route, where people gather to hear royal proclamations starting with blowing on enormous copper pipes called dzharchis. The first Madarsha built there was by Ulugh Beg, grandson of Tamurlane, between the years 1417-1420. More of a scholar than ruler, he had a keen interest in astronomy. This is evident from the fact that the main portal of the Madrasa has a beautiful ten-pointed star symbolizing the sky and astronomy. This spectacular building facing the Registan is flanked by high minarets at the corners. It also houses a mosque, lecture rooms, dormitory cells where students lived and deep galleries decorated with stylized geometrical patterns. Originally, this used to be a two-story structure with four domed lecture rooms or darskhonas at the corners. The madrasa held classes on astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, theology. It boost of students like Abdul Rahman Jami, the great Persian mystic poet and scholar and Alisher Navoi , national poet of present day Uzbekistan.Acanth comes from a forgotten land where animals can speak and trees are made of poetry. This is his first release for Shango Records. These three tracks can give a breath of existence to every civilization. Santiago Bohmer, Apaj, Lakuru and Sevn (CA) are poets and philosophers from another time and another dimension.
