Just to point you in the direction of Nizar Rohana's new album, which is out today. I'm lucky enough to have spent some time with it already and it's
really superb, creative, beautiful music. The format is a trio, with Matyas Szandai on bass and Wassim Halal on percussion. More info on his website:
I grabbed it from iTunes first thing this morning and I've been listening to it all day. I think it's even better than his previous record (Sard).DaveH - 4-20-2016 at 05:29 AM
I agree! The sound is superb - very natural and not overproduced, like many oud recordings. And the pieces are beautiful. nizarrohana - 5-29-2016 at 05:42 AM
Thank you Dave for this post! Here are two tracks from the new album:
And I'm still hoping to hear about some performances in the States. Nizar - what can we do to get you to extend your tour across the sea?nizarrohana - 6-1-2016 at 12:52 PM
