Shawaza
(eve03)
Shawaza begins like a sweeping whisper. Fingers dance on the strings
of a dulcimer, speaking in unworldly poetic verses. Deep, vibrating
drums answer the calls of the dulcimer as haunting string arrangements
build up into a complex, but beautiful musical sound-scape. Shawaza
will take you on a musical journey of feelings and thoughts, invoking
the grand spiritual questions of life, death and rebirth. Electronic,
orchestral elements are merged with Middle Eastern percussion such
as dumbeks, frame drums, riqqs, djembes and finger cymbals. Other
various melodic instruments include Oud, and Saz played masterfully
by Dann M. Torres of Knossos.
