Salaam
| "Volumes are spoken without words as these extraordinary musicians bring their talents to bear on traditional ethnic music . . ." |
|
Salaam
has delighted audiences for years with its expansive repertoire of
Middle Eastern and North African music. Salaam
is true to the traditions, informing the uninitiated, and evoking
nostalgia in listeners who are familiar with the art form.
What sets Salaam apart
is the versatility of its musicians, whose deep knowledge of Eastern and
Western styles gives them the flexibility to move effortlessly between
genres. The sound, while rooted in maqam (the modal system used
throughout the Middle East), infuses tasteful forays into jazz, rock,
blues, classical and avant garde. Salaam,
whose name means "peace" in Arabic, is a musical ambassador
for peaceful coexistence. |
