Mixed Worldmusic: “Bullseye” “Midden in de roos”
October 14th, 2013Tweet
Great review in dutch of Kind of NO blues.
“De arabicana van NO Blues is een muzikaal mengsel waarin het Midden-Oosten en het Amerikaanse platteland om beurten het voortouw nemen. Zang in Amerikaanse stijl met spitse ud-begeleiding van Haytham Safia, Arabische zang voortgestuwd door de opruiend slepende slidegitaar van Ad van Meurs. En allerlei gradaties daartussen, waar vooral slagwerker Osama Meleegi de hand in heeft. Met listige tikjes en accentverschuivingen geeft hij eenvoudige ritmes diepte en reliëf”
