Product Description

Album Description
Recorded 1999

Tunisian oud virtuoso Anouar Brahem counts as one of ECM's most important "discoveries" of the last decade. After his highly successful trans-cultural recording 'Thimar', he returns to a more purely Middle Eastern music on 'Astrakan Cafe', with the trio that has been his first priority for several years. The improvisational exchanges between Brahem, clarinettist Barbaros Erköse and percussionist Lassad Hosni are exceptionally fluid, and the atmospheres that they create by turns mysterious, hypnotic and dramatic.

Personnel:
Anouar Brahem - (oud), Barbaros Erköse - (clarinet), Lassad Hosni - (bendir, darbouka)

5.0 out of 5 stars music that defies rush, 18 Feb 2005

By	"merfield" - See all my reviews

A consistently beautiful album, with sounds that seem to create space to think. I'm no expert on world music, and happened on this after hearing a radio review, but Astrakan Cafe seems to have a musical integrity of its own. I have sampled some of his more recent collaborations, and felt this album avoided the uneasy fusions of later work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have album for anyone who loves jazz or world music, 4 Dec 2000

By A Customer

A thrilling exploration of old and new musical forms of N Africa and the Mediterranean. Music which is impossible to either pin down or forget.
