With many apologies for the hyper-rough-voice (it's the virus-time of the year), I am able to bring a fresh show via the miracle of digital recording!
Beginning the Nightwatch in mellower form than usual, some acoustic-leanings, starting with a track from Local hero Carlangas - we tried playing a track last Nightwatch, but the CD wouldn't give up the song... but there's more than one way to wrench music from a digital medium... so we have it here for you tonight! |
Tell Me How Much Carlangas - Judgement of a Throne |
Hypnotistique Amakadauri - Hypnotistique |
Kings Rashanim - The Gathering |
Magic Bill Frisell - Intercontinentals |
Sanga Jade Warrior - Eclipse |
Now, the feature - the new album from Yemen Blues, “Live in Tel Aviv”, recorded in 2012, out now on New York's Chant Records . Led by the supernaturally charismatic singer Ravid Kahalani, the 10-piece band brilliantly creates a singular sound influenced by the music of Yemen along with rock, blues and jazz. Kahalani (vocal, gimbri) is joined by an amazing group of musicians: Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz (bass, oud), Rony Iwryn (percussion), Itamar Doari (percussion), Itamar Borochov (trumpet), Rafi Malkiel (trombone), Matan Chapnizki (saxophone), Salit Lahav (flute), Hilla Epstein (cello), Keren Tenenboum (viola), and special guest Daniel Iwryn (bass). |
