In the rhythm of music, a secret is hidden. — Jelaleddin Rumi

Ancient World Music (One) is SEIKILO’s first compilation ever with eight remarkable songs performed by an amazing team of affiliate artists, including some of the greatest lyres players. This line-up is out of this world and is undoubtedly the best that SEIKILO Ancient World Music Channel had to offer at the time of this music album’s launch!
