With CDs by Dutch-Morrocan Karim Eharruyen & Kurdish Hesen Kanjo.
Karim Eharruyen
Ud player Karim Eharruyen and three other musicians accompany Spanish flamenco singer Curra Suarez in the piece Zharbia. Zharbia means carpet, and eastern carpets are like puzzles with many colours, motives and stories. Jazz, classical, Arab and Spanish styles are entwined with one another in Zharbia like a spicy, exciting, musical, multicultural carpet.
