Description

The Anthropology of Arabic music has not yet uncovered all the secrets behind the origins and development of the Muwashah in the 10th century in Andalusia. But with the little we know, were very lucky that these Muwashahs were passed on to us.

This CD represents the quintessence of the Muwashah. Care for details and complete reproduction of suites, without any new composition of preludes, interludes or finales; make of this work an authentic product of Tarab.

This recording is the fruit of a convergence between Forward music, great musicians and a fascinating singer, whose goal was to go back into the past, and bring this music to life in its integrity. A series of extraordinary musical sessions occurred during the recording of this CD. We were immersed in a state of exaltation re-living that golden era in Arab history, when humanism, music and the arts prevailed.

To those whore not familiar with Tarab, we invite you to discover the meaning of this word in music. And to those who are already familiar with this genre, were quite sure that you will find in this CD all the ecstasy proper to this style.
