This is an album by H. Aram Gulezyan, a revered master of the oud, sarod and sultaniya, and his group. From Lyrichord, an American label specializing in ethnic music and local recordings. The album features traditional Turkish folk music in various forms, including oud/salod solos, oud/drum duos, oud/salod duos, and ensembles. Arab music is usually associated with dry tones, but this album is characterized by its wet texture, and the moist tones of Oud and Sarod are particularly enchanting.
