"...ambient sonic landscapes, with piano and accordion able to hang in the air like the lingering odor of perfume."
- Marshall Bowden, Jazzattitude
"There's pure wonder and revelation in this music. Brahem has followed his impulses and laid his soul bare, creating another modern masterpiece. Le Voyage Du Sahar should have special appeal to fans of jazz, classical and world music - or just plain good music."

Anouar Brahem - Le Voyage de Sahar
A haunting, spacious marriage of European and Arabic music

For more than a quarter of a century, the Tunisian lutenist Anouar Brahem has been composing, playing and improvising remarkably eloquent, beautiful music for piano and oud. He works with various other exceptional musicians, only some of whom share his direct connection to erudite Arabic traditions.

On Le Voyage de Sahar he is joined by two French friends - pianist François Couturier and accordionist Jean-Louis Matinier. Brahem’s original music is a haunting, spacious marriage of European and Arabic elements, superbly evoking the desert moods of North Africa. A gorgeous album - gentle but strong, and the sound quality is superb.
