Elias Rahbani - Mosaic Of The Orient 1992 (Voix De L'Orient)

Label : Voix De L'Orient

Value :

Mosaic Of The Orient«, the reissue specialists Right Track from Beirut release a compilation that makes 17 tracks from the two instrumental albums by Elias Rahbani, the youngest of the three Rahbani brothers, released under this title in 1972 and 1974, tangible again. This music is a pioneering achievement in its fusion of western elements and folklore typical of the country: The sounds of the oud and buzuq lutes, näi flutes and darbukka enter into a harmonious marriage with the sounds of synthesizers, electronic organs and drums with the greatest of ease and produce an almost synoptic quality of lasting, thus everlasting appeal. No wonder that pieces like »Dance Of Maria« appear as samples in songs by the Black Eyed Peas and others.
