Aman Aman - Musica I Cants Sefardis D'orient I

Facts Mara Aranda (voice, percussion) and Efrén Lopez (laúd) are internationally known as being the main protagonists of the Spanish worldmusic group L'Ham de Foc that mixes in a very unique way mediterranean, oritental and medieval music. Their new project Aman Aman with Diego Lopez (percussions), Abdelaziz Samsaoui (Qanun), Matthieu Saglio (Cello) and Christos Barbas (Ney) is dedicated in a very special way to the sephardic music. In some cases Aman Aman mixes the sephardic music with Turkish or Greek elements that have a strong relation to each other. The sound is based on (like it can be listend on all the field recordings) on string, wind and percussion instruments of the middle east (Qanun, Ud, Cúmbús, Baglama, Ney, Kaval, Darbuka, Rig, Bendir...) and is filled with the more current sound of the cello that is played like it is used in the mordern orchestras in Magreb, Turkey or Egypt
