OUR STORY

We are Mirage World Band from Hamburg, Germany.

What is our background stories?

Our guitarist and lead singer, Amir Soltani, hat fled his homeland Iran. As a young boy, he used to play Funk and Heavy-Metal music in private parties. „I used to have a Gibson guitar; the Iranian government has taken it away from me. I have been wondering, even until today, what they have done with my guitar. They have tried so far to forbid me from playing music. I had to leave my country behind and flee from the crazy world.” 
Edwin is our bassist and sound engineer. “Arriving from India, I was looking for a world fusion band in Hamburg and after a long wait I found Mirage World Band. As I was looking for an artistic approach and a band that does not have an identity crisis, I happen to discover that Mirage World Band had much more dynamic of life to offer the world other than just music. The music of all original compositions from this band sounds unique as we journey through different sonic cultures and elements of surprises. At last, I have found new friends and family in Hamburg that would fuel my artistic senses. I could offer my support to their cause of shedding our cultural identities to communicate with each other for 
a better and happier living.” 

 
How did we become a band?
 The universe has sealed the fate and all virtuoso musicians from all over the world have met in Hamburg. Amir and Muller met several times in 2019 at the jam sessions in some culture center in Hamburg (Zinnschmelze, Migrantpolitan - Kampnagel, Motte, Thalia Gausstrasse). Together with other musicians we started to form a music group and started to rehearse several oriental songs, mostly in Persian and Arabic languages.

We became friends and had more singers and musicians coming and leaving us. Plus, we started to perform in several venues and culture center in and around Hamburg.

Which music influences do we have? 

 Our music compositions get their influences from our own cultural backgrounds, from the European classical music to Latin jazz, from traditional Asian pentatonic scales to Persian middle east scales, from African rhythm to Ska-rock rhythm. We sing our songs in German, Farsi (Persian language), France and English, with more languages to come. 

Which milestones have we achieved so far?
We took part at the OXMOX Music Competition in 2019 and reached the final stage and performed at the world-famous hall "Große Freiheit 36" at the Reeperbahn, Hamburg.
During 2019 - 2021 we started to fix and complete the arrangement of our songs. In Summer 2021 we started our first recording and release our premiere single MIRAGE in August that year. Check out the song at our discography section of this website.
In 2023 we have released our 7 singles – 1 single each month. Together with our other songs in the working, we have at least 12 songs from our own composition, ready for every live concert we perform.  This year we are preparing more singles and even acoustic and remix versions of our released songs.

Who are the band members today?
In this year 2024, our band Mirage World consists of 5 persons: Amir, Vera, Ibo, Edwin, and Muller. Amir is our talented violin and guitar player. He studied music back in Iran, had a punk-ska rock band there and had to flee to Germany as that music are unfortunately forbidden in Iran. Together with Vera, they are our lead singers, and they compose most of the song texts. Vera studied music and had gathered lots of experiences as musical singer and does solo performances as well. Ibo (Ibrahim) is our drummer and our French singer. Ibo is the sought after drummer and percussionist all over Hamburg, yet his prime band is Mirage World. Edwin is not only our bassist, but also our sound engineer. Edwin has produced several albums back in Goa, India. He works as a sound engineer for famous venues in Hamburg and across Germany. So far, all songs are recorded and mastered by the Master Edwin himself. Muller is our keyboardist and our administration guy. So altogether we are living our independent music world. We bring our cultural and musical background to fuse into what we always call "Mirage Sound". People can say that we are presenting the world fusion music.
