Oud - New record release Harel Shachal and Anistar - Middle Eastern,Balkan,World

[Double V]

Wanted to share a record that I'm very proud to have been a part of and was just recently released.

I play oud and cumbus with Harel Shachal and Anistar. We were a Middle Eastern jazz group that played in NYC from 2001-2009. We released a record in 2005 and this is our second release finally seeing the light of day after recording it in 2008-2009. So excited to finally hear the end result after having the tracks lay dormant for a few years.



Here's one in 14/8 featuring Michal Cohen on vocals



A more sparse one:

Very nice. I've always been moved by Middle Eastern and North African music. Big fan of Hamza El Din and Simon Shaheen.

The first tune has a chorus that sounds Western to my ears. Very nice.
