Writer Jorge Luis Borges claims that the Zahir faith has Islamic origins and it emerged probably in the 18th century. The word Zahir comes from the Arabic language and it denotes the visible, the present, the conspicuous. Somebody or something that gradually takes control of our mind and we are left unable to concentrate on anything else. We can consider i tas holiness or madness. This is true of my music, which is one of the Zahirs of my life.
