Traditional music
from North Africa, a great introduction the distinct rhythms of Arabian music.
'On this CD, world percussionist and dumbek master R. A. Fish takes you on a wild exploration of traditional Middle Eastern rhythms,
improvisations and stunning ensemble performances that reach to the very core of
the North African musical experience. The dumbek, tar, and riq head a
virtuoso line-up of musicians performing on oud, qanun, saz, shenai, and other
instruments. Selections include all the signature rhythms used in Middle Eastern
dance, with written notations provided. Celebrated frame drummer Randy Crafton
joins on bendir and the great Iranian poet and Rumi scholar Sharam T. Shiva
recites a profoundly moving allegorical poem in Farsi, accompanied by Fish and
Company. Rhythmic Essence/Fish on the Desert is a master's tour of traditional
and original North African music that is propelled by the driving beat of that
region's small but powerful ancient drum, the dumbek.'
