Anouar Brahem - Conte De L'Incroyable Amour

Part of the 'Touchstones' series of specially-priced and newly packaged albums from ECM's back catalogue. All featuring the original artwork and brand new packaging - double cardboard sleeves reminiscent of the original LPs.

Tunisian oud master Anouar Brahem's second recording for ECM is another category-defying masterpiece, blending elements of tradition and the new. He invites two Turkish musicians into his soundworld, ney player Kudsi Erguner, from the Sufi tradition, and clarinettist Barbaros Erk�se, an exponent of Romany gypsy music.

Recorded 1991

Personnel: Anouar Brahem (oud), Barbaros Erk�se (clarinet), Kudsi Erguner (nai), Lassad Hosni (bendir, darbouka)
