Sangre Del Rio (1997)<\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In 1997 the second solo CD Sangre Del Rio <\/em>was released on its own Norumba Records label (so – named as an antidote to the Diet-flamenco-lite pop\/rumba material burgeoning at the time). Building on the free jazz\/modern classical\/ early flamenco hybrid I was developing on Warning Clothed In Bright Robes Of Dawn<\/em>, this CD took it in a more flamenco direction.<\/div>\n

Six Peaces (2003)<\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
My early oud work is documented on the album Six Peaces,<\/em> a meditative work with both oud and flamenco guitar. It’s the last time I did any solo work with the flamenco, and so it documents the transition of my focus from one instrument to the other. But while recording the album I discovered these two instruments have a particular affinity for each other, and so I could not ignore the guitar completely.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Six Peaces<\/em> was recorded at a time of a great first love for the oud (only a few months into it), of a passionate initial immersion into the Islamic Sufi tradition, and of great sorrow at a particularly turbulent time in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Performing and preparing these pieces for the recording therefore brought on a certain meditation – on themes of love, understanding, healing, responsibility, peace in both the internal and global domains, and above all, love of the Divine. These meditations in turn generated\u00a0 six corresponding poetic texts for each of the tracks.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Both CD’s were well acclaimed in the press (see below), particularly Sangre<\/em>, and they represent a slice of development. While Six Peaces<\/em> was a popular release at the time, with all hard copies sold out, the oud playing was undeveloped and yet to find a voice fully rooted in its tradition.\u00a0 But a friend recently told me, “never mind the playing, it still has a feel.<\/em><\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

Sangre<\/em> is not\u00a0 currently available and Six Peaces<\/em> is available as download at https:\/\/store.cdbaby.com\/cd\/mustafasd\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>; a plan to re-release certain selections from both discs as a combined re–master release is in consideration for later this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
