Música despojada con profundas raíces que nos hace sentir de este mundo, sin fronteras, ni etnias, ni religiones. Música que llega donde tiene que llegar: a la emoción.
Que ce soit Thimar, Le voyage de sahar, le pas du chat noir, conte de l'incroyable amour, astounding Eyes..., Astrakan café, Madar et enfin Barzakh, à écouter après une journée bien harassante, ou tout simplement pour se retrouver en soi. Ce musicien nous convie majestueusement à la paix et toutes pensées négatives finissent bien vite par s'éclipser. Très bonnes prises de son, limpide ce qui met en valeur le silence de ces beaux instruments, chaque Cd cités ont le mérite d'être différents. Magnifique travail de recherche et d'inspiration. Bravo Anouar.
Barazkh, is one of Anouar Brahem's best and although his excellent collaborators - Bechir Selmi on violin and Lassad Hosni on hand-held drum - are, as ever, superb, there is more solo oud on this album than any of his other ECM releases and that makes it a vital release. Brahem is one of the best-selling artists on ECM, a record label that over the decades has pushed the boundaries of jazz and world-fusion - and provided great music in the process. To me, Brahem is the epitome of all the label represents. His nine or so albums with ECM, beginning with Barzakh in 1990, offer sublime music found nowhere else. The exotic images he draws with his intricate oud playing is always beautifully recorded and his musical collaborations are always fascinating. Lovely stuff.
