5.0 out of 5 stars Teslim embodies not only a syncretic harmony between cultures but also a tribute to the personal friendship between artists, December 12, 2008

This review is from: Teslim (Audio CD)

Teslim is an instrumental music CD created by classically-trained violinist Kaila Flexer (violin, viola) and self-taught musician Gari Gegedus (lauto, baglama, bulgari, divan, cura, lavta, oud, viola, tarhu, frame drum, and pennywhistle), with contributions from special guests Shira Kammen and Julian Smedley (fiddles), Olov Johansson (nyckelharpa), and Liza Wallace (harp). Reveling in the distinctive time signatures found throughout the Balkans, Greece, and Turkey, Teslim embodies not only a syncretic harmony between cultures but also a tribute to the personal friendship between fellow artists. An inspirational album, Teslim overflows with the joy that went into making it. Highly recommended. The tracks are Camila's Song (4:37), Ajuar de Novia Galana / Timarxou Street Dojo (8:38), El Meod Na'ala (6:43), Knight of Cups (4:46), Azade (5:44), Taxim (2:30), Stone's Throw (for Carla) (3:26), Kiana's Waltz (8:16), Elk/High Tide/Yetierre (6:52), Aley Givah (2:15), Petalouda (7:59), and For a 5 / Karsilamas for Sara (5:05). 60 minutes, 6 seconds.
