From Italy a rather new band just released a very interesting Arabic flamenco cd. The lead vocals by the Algerian Bachir Gareche are full emotion and also the other two musicians play with great skill and deep feeling. Oleg Veresciaghin plays the accordion and comes from Russia. This can be heard in his play by occasion. The way he puts rhythm in his play shows where he has his roots. Davide Viterbo plays the guitar and is the only Italian one in this trio. One of my personal favorites is the song Ya galby. The musicians manage in this song to put the best of both cultures in one melody. Melancholy in combination with power.

A strong album that deserves a big audience.
