New England musical ensemble HuDost featuring two core members, singer/songwriters Moksha Sommer and JemalWade Hines, present acoustic-based music on Thursday, May 4 at 7 p.m. in the Student Union ballroom.
Their music includes an ethereal ambience mixed with hints of pop, sacred chant, Sufi poetry, experimental electronic and other world music with lovely layers and beautiful harmonies.

Moksha Sommer, graduate of Concordia University in Montreal, is a well-seasoned vocalist who has studied 12 different vocal styles worldwide. Gainesville, Fla. guitarist, singer/songwriter, percussionist and producer JemalWade Hines has been writing, recording and performing music for 17 years.

HuDost’s original work ranges in style from alternative world music to their own country and eastern fusion, and atmospheric, experimental sound. This is mixed with the rich, eclectic, blending of traditional Sufi music, Bulgarian and Balkan translations, Farsi, Turkish, Arabic and Southern Gospel.
Their debut CD, “In an Eastern Rose Garden,” was released in 2005 to rave reviews. They are currently putting the finishing touches on their first CD of all original material with engineer/producer Gil Morales for a projected June release.
A U.S. tour will follow the release of the new CD in the spring summer and autumn with plans to go international in 2007. See: www.hudost.com.

Joining Moksha and JemalWade for this special evening is Roshan Jennifer Ferraro presenting poetry and sacred dance and Zakir Marc McCamey on frame drum. Ferraro is a poet, author and dancer who performs with the Latif Bolat Ensemble playing frame drum and reciting poetry with devotional dance.

This event is sponsored by UNM’s Turkish Student Association, UNM’s Institute for Medieval Studies, Desert Rose Center, Sufi Order International and the Nur-Ashki Jerrahi Sufi Order.
