Ya Salaam!

Salaam's newest release was recorded in the spring of 2005.  "Ya Salaam!", is an expression of musical bliss.  The performances have a fresh, spontaneous sound, and there is incredible variety in terms of instrumentation and style.  The album features the vocals of Hakan Toker and Amir El Saffar, a departure from the purely instrumental music of the previous albums.  "Ya Rayah" and "Yine Bir Gul Nihal" are surprisingly progressive, while  "Sema'ii Bayyat" and "Jurjina Medley" showcase the band's ability to do justice to the music traditions of the Near East.  

Recorded at Farm Fresh Studios, in Bloomington, IN, and mastered at Colossal Mastering, in Chicago, IL.  This CD reflects the musical growth of the musicians.  It is mature and refined as well as experimental and daring.
