Multiple Worlds - Mehdi Nabti/Pulsar 4 - F-IRECD83 (2015)
buy now
French-Canadian saxophonist and composer Mehdi Nabti plays an improvised and intercultural form of fresh music, full of life, where freedom is combined with rigour and multiple traditions. Sufi trances from north-africa, geomancy, vocals and Congolese beats come together in ingenious compositions : mirrored melodies and beats, reversed and superimposed, with repetitive cells and group improvisations. A musical style of rare openness and maturity, and it's a live recording !

Into colors of world music, do not look further. Here is a telescoping quite dancing and swinging. Class.
