Bani Adam Project

Bani Adam (“children of Adam”) is the well-known work of Iranian poet Saadi Shirazi, considering the belief that all humans are connected to one another: Adam's sons are body limbs, to say, For they're created of the same clay. Should one organ be troubled by pain, Others would suffer severe strain. Thou, careless of people's suffering, Deserve not the name, "human being”.Translation by H. Vahid Dastjerdi Saadi’s words feel particularly significant to us amid the uncertainty and anxiety that have spread equally around the world. We are compelled to live up to this spirit of connectedness through our music. To that end, Bani Adam will be a collaborative album between Borderless Band and composers, vocalists, and musicians who have been financially impacted by COVID-19.
