Description
BIO :
Hypnotic, magnetic new album by Anouar Brahem which adds a new dimension to our knowledge of this exceptional Tunisian musician. ‘Le pas du chat noir’ gives the clearest indication yet of the work of Brahem as composer and features a spacious ‘chamber music’ that resonates with the freshness of improvisation. The instrumentation is unique: oud, piano, accordion. Brahem’s writing for this combination is highly evocative, meticulously controlled and sparse. Half of the magic, as he notes, resides in the not-played, in the marvellous mingling of overtones, sounds that rise from the piano to blend with the warm tones of the oud and the breath of the accordion’s bellows.
Initially published on CD in September 2002, vinyl is issued in June 2019.
