Bio / Background
Ghada Shbeir "Winner of the BBC3 World Music Award" for 2007
You can also hear Ghada Shbeir in CD:"Communique#2" (tracks 2 and 5)
This CD represents the quintessence of the “Muwashah”. Care for details and complete reproduction of suites, without any new composition of preludes, interludes or finales; make of this work an authentic product of “Tarab”.
This recording is the fruit of a convergence between “Forward music”, great musicians and a fascinating singer, whose goal was to go back into the past, and bring this music to life in its integrity. A series of extraordinary musical sessions occurred during the recording of this CD. We were immersed in a state of exaltation re-living that golden era in Arab history, when humanism, music and the arts prevailed.
To those who’re not familiar with “Tarab”, we invite you to discover the meaning of this word in music.
↓ more ↓And to those who are already familiar with this genre, we‘re quite sure that you will find in this CD all the ecstasy proper to this style.
