Arabic Makam and polyphony from Norway
Kathryn Tickell picks roots-based music from across the globe including new work from tar player Araz Salek and traditional Norwegian songs performed in unison by Kvedarkvintetten.
Kathryn Tickell curates a selection of new roots-based music from across the globe, including fresh sounds from Tehran-born ensemble leader and tar player Araz Salek, whose work investigates the intersection of Turkish and Arabic makam music with the Iranian dastgāh tradition. Plus polyphony courtesy of the Norwegian vocal group Kvedarkvintetten, and a journey through Athens, Greece, on the notes of Babo Koro’s music - their new album Opsis takes inspiration from the meeting of two rich musical traditions, those of the Mediterranean and of the Balkan.
