J.K.A.M., a.k.a. Juzu a.k.a. Moochy, has released 9 consecutive months of analog works in 2016, which were mixed, remastered and compiled into a CD album, "Counterpoint X" and "Counterpoint Y". This is a 12" single with a full color jacket. A1 features Afran Rubab, a stringed instrument from Afghanistan, and Kanoun, a stringed instrument widely used in the Arab/Asian world; A2 features a West African stringed instrument, Kora, and Egyptian Mizmar, and a Brazilian female vocalist; and B features Egyptian violinist Saad Muhanmmad B1 features Egyptian violinist Saad Muhanmmad Hassan, and B2 features Kurdish chants layered over kora and violin. This album is a perfect example of Moochy's recent efforts to fuse ethnic music and dance music. Highly recommended. (Chee)
