Anouar Brahem - Le Voyage De Sahar (2006)

Anouar Brahem is a remarkable Tunisian composer & improviserknown primarily as an innovator in oud contemporary playing. From the very first records of his art, back in 1991, until last year's The Astounding Eyes Of Rita, Brahem has been offering us unique gems, all of them under the eclectic european label ECM; sometimes as a solo performer, where the oud represents either the voice or the orchestra, and sometimes with his elegant trio. It is worth exploring the art of this great musician, along with his entire discography, so here they are some links referring to his official website (www.anouarbrahem.com), his Wikipedia page and AllMusicGuide's entry.

Alongside with Francois Couturier on piano and Jean Louis Matinier on accordion, Brahem recorded Le Voyage De Sahar, back in 2006; released from ECM label and produced by Manfred Eicher, the stable producer of almost all ECM releases.
