About the Artist

INSTRUMENTS AND MUSICIANS

SAAZ AND VOICE (Nazar - Kurdistan - Iraq) This is an Oriental lute with strings producing extremely open and typical sound. Some keys are at the interval of a fourth of tone according to the taste of a large region that includes the Middle East and of part of the Mediterranean. The tunes that Nazar sings and plays are very ancient, but sound extremely lively even to our modern ears.

KEYBOARDS (Maurizio Dami - Firenze - Italy) They represent the "primordial soup", the sound of "reality as it is", unaffected by history and culture. They provide the "glue", they create the environment within tunes can swim like fish in the water.

KEYBOARDS and VOICE (Smail Kouider Aissa - Algeria) They represent the dialogue amongst different Mediterranean cultures and the door to the Arab world. Smail comes from Algerian Rai.

TABLAS (Rashmi v. Bhatt - Gujarat - India) The most typical and universally famous Indian percussion instrument needs no further explanation. Due to their precise tuning they are not only rhythmic but also harmonic instruments.

DAF, DARBOUCA AND JEMBÈ (Paolo Casu - Italy) The rhythmic color instruments of Africa and Middle East.
