Divine Shadows sees the culmination of Dhafer Youssef’s musical journey over the past five years. This, Dhafer’s fourth album, consolidates ideas that have emerged through his three albums on Enja Records whilst introducing a new dynamic. Produced by Norwegian guitarist, composer and producer Eivind Aarset, and featuring music which has formed the basis of the group’s live concerts for the past year, Dhafer’s debut album for Jazzland displays a mature cohesion. Divine Shadows reveals the full potential of Dhafer both as a composer and performer, working with musicians whose creativity provides the perfect vehicle for his music. ////////// Released 2006 ////////// Personell: Dhafer Youssef - Oud & Voice / Arve Henriksen - Trumpet / Eivind Aarset - Guitars, Electronics & Programming / Audun Erlien - Electric bass, Balalaika & Electronics / Rune Arnesen - Drums & Programming / Marilyn Mazur - Percussion / Jan Bang - Programming / Oslo Session String Quartet ////////// Some press quotes: "five stars" - Observer / "Aarset and Youssef have forged a thrilling new sound that could make Divine Shadows a crossover hit" - The Guardian / "... a meditative thing of frequent beauty and unquestionable tastefulness." - The Independent On Sunday / "This heady, enticing cultural clash - the sensual warmth of Youssef's Middle East meets the cool sensuality of his European collaborators...has yielded moments of quite sublime beauty... the results approach the hypnotically sublime." - Jazzwise //////////
