A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
About "Mizrah"
This is the track from the album "Mizrah". This is my first album :-)
"Mizrah" - Eastern Reflexions, Western Inspirations.
The "Mizrah" album represents a very original kind of music which is difficult to classify. Three points seem to be the most important. First, the initial material, representing the music with Eastern folk motives as well as original Roksana’s Vikaluk compositions arranged in a close to jazz way; second, the jazz "basis", and third, a very specific Roxana’s singing which naturally reaches the Eastern roots. The music performed by a quintet may be defined as a sort of a "world music"; the use of Ukrainian, Hebraic and Tatar themes represent also an important element, permitting to regard these compositions as "ethnic music".
R. Vikaluk - voc., p., Kurzweil K2600
R. Borowski - fl.,
P. Aleksandrowicz - gtr.,
W. Traczyk - b.,
