About the music of Oriental Mood
Arabic and Gypsy music from Andalucia was - and is characterized by improvisation - the ability to convey mood at the moment. The music is scented with spontaneous whims, and many solos on both Qanun, Trumpet, Indian tabla and flamenco guitar.
A spiritual inspiration aimed at creating a bridge between Western and Eastern cultures - to present the best of the Arab maqam to the most funky and Middle Eastern beats.
