On the same path as Baraka, Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) continues his intimate spiritual journey into healing and cosmic drone music. Like its predecessor, this work originally appeared on tape for Aquamarin Verlag (1982). Sabiya means bright, shining, an oriental wind that suggests feminine power; Sabiha is therefore she who manifests beauty and grace. Shaheena is indicative of gentle and soft, while Shahira embodies and represents the essence of recognition and visibility. Absorbed in absolute state of contemplation, Wiese plays harp, tambura and harmonium in a very essential and circular minimal way, focusing on the stillness of their pure harmonics. The glorious, triumphant sweep of this luminous sound thus seems to evoke and suggest these precise concepts, tactile and visual emotional drops, swirls of impalpable bliss, revelatory of an ethereal and infinite astral dimensional level.
