On his latest album World Music, Australian oud player and composer Joseph Tawadros enlists an array of intriguing instruments from across the planet to create richly textured global landscapes. Joined by his brother, acclaimed percussionist James Tawadros, the album moves easily from hypnotic rhythms to subtle stillness, from exhilarating dances to swaggering grooves. It is ethereal, sensual and joyful, united by Joseph’s expert musicianship.
