"Mahku" comprises eight chants, including a striking reimagining of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide,” sung by Manizeh’s daughter, Mahku Rimer. The album’s title, meaning “eclipse,” is also the shared name of Manizeh’s grandmother and daughter, anchoring the project in themes of ancestry and continuity.
Emerging from her long-standing chanting practice and her deep creative kinship with ganavya, the album opens and closes with the voices of three generations of women, exploring music as a timeless, intergenerational loop. Recorded in a space Manizeh describes as “suspending you in an infinite river of time,” "Mahku" is both personal ritual and universal offering, flowing through lineage, loss, and love.
