Sensenta

North-African atmospheres with the sparkling album Astrakan Café, by Anouar Brahem. Brahem, a Tunesian Ud-player, is accompanied by the Turkish clarinet player Barbaros Erköse, and by Lassad Hosni on bendir and darbouka. The spaciousness of the recording and the lively playing make this an album to drift away on.
