Niyaz - Mazaar (featuring Ar Rahman) May 2026

"Mazaar" is inspired by the iconic Afghan folk song a tribute to the sacred city of Mazar-i-Sharif . Historically, this melody is a celebration of the spring festival (Gul-e-Surkh) and the blooming of red tulips around the Blue Mosque. By reinterpreting this piece, Niyaz honors the resilience and beauty of Afghan culture, particularly within the context of the album Sumud (meaning "steadfastness" in Arabic), which explores themes of resistance and hope. Musical Composition and Collaboration

The song , appearing on Niyaz’s 2012 album Sumud , is a profound cross-cultural collaboration that bridges the musical landscapes of Iran, Afghanistan, and India. Featuring the guest vocals of legendary Indian composer A.R. Rahman , the track stands as a centerpiece of the band’s mission to blend ancient folk traditions with modern electronic textures. Cultural and Historical Roots

Mazaar. Single from Iranian trio Niyaz, featuring A R Rahman.

: The arrangement features traditional South Asian and Middle Eastern instruments, including: Sarangi : Performed by Kamal Sabri . Tabla : Performed by Salar Nader.
