Partage

CD + DVD Partage Aromates Ensemble

Arab-Andalousian poems performed by an ensemble of Middle Eastern string instruments that fuses modern harmony with traditional Arabic songs. An eclectic group of singers and instrumentalists trained in a variety of schools, perform on traditional instruments. Michèle Claude and her group offer what is possibly an even better album than her previous recordings for Alpha, combining the musical idiom of roots Arabic music with the timbres of the organetto, psaltery, harpsichord, and a rich selection of percussion instruments. Ensemble Aromates consists of classically trained musicians evolving into different musical horizons--medieval, baroque, contemporary, jazz, gypsy, and salsa. They love improvising, and pay tribute to musicians from all traditions, oral and written.
