World

Lebanese artist Abaji has created a fusion between Oriental, Indian and Blues music. Abaji has mastered multiple instruments from the drums to the lute. Throughout his career, he has toured on five continents around the world. His 5th album, Origine Orients,sounds like Dylan in Arabic, the haunting modes of Armenian music (with a slight jazz after-tone) and Mississipi Dervish blues. His latest album was released in the autumn of 2009.

Amadou & Mariam, Natacha Atlas, Le Trio Joubran, Kamel El Harrachi
