Manizeh's debut album 'Mahku' is a bold entry into the world of contemporary spiritual jazz. Co-produced by LEITER labelmate ganavya, who recently released the celebrated Daughter of a Temple and Nilam, and LEITER co-founder Felix Grimm, the album was recorded in early 2025 at the label’s renowned Funkhaus Studio in Berlin. '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. The limited edition vinyl of 'Mahku' is available now. Tracklist Ashem Vohu (feat. ganavya)BhaisajyaguruAvan's Sita Ram (feat. Mahku Rimer)Narayana (feat. Jay Verma)Tvam Eva (feat.
