Anouar Brahem is a long-standing favourite of Readings. We have sold literally thousands of his CDs. Quite often it is a staff recommendation to an entirely unsuspecting customer, who never fails to be delighted at their new discovery.

His path is now well trodden – the fusion of Arabic and jazz music. Very much at the forefront of contemporary Oud players, he has a new band – and with that, a slightly different feel – on this album. But if you’ve been tempted before, you will still be satisfied. If not, it’s about time you entered his world of beautiful music.
