Salsabil - The Spirit Of The Moment - U1CD-2024-2
The music on this album shows the diverse moods of different
musical traditions: Arab-Andalousian, Afro-Arabic, contemporary and classical
Arabic and Turkish music, as well as Sufi-music from Turkey. The music
is performed exclusively with traditional acoustic instruments.
Salsabil was founded in 1995 by the Turkish singer Meral
and the percussionist Matthias Bautz, with the ambition to play traditional
music but also to develop new forms.
They point out that the music traditions of the Middle East
are alive, most of the tracks are extemporary compositions and all pieces
are moment-recordings, recorded with only one take.
The musicians stem from Egypt and Turkey and are well-known
in the Oriental music scene. Matthias Bautz the only European in the group
and since his youth mentally connected with the Orient, accompanied many
famous musicians and is guest-musician at the State Broadcast of Turkey
TRT Istanbul.
The music was recorded between 1997 and 1999 in Berlin.
