Description

Jazz Bridge between East and West.

Baraka - this ethno-jazz project, combining the oriental flavor ballads of Central Asia with a jazz aesthetic of the North-East
Europe. It was attended by more than 20 musicians from Russia and Latvia. The album is dedicated to the memory of outstanding Tajik musician Muboraksho Mirzoshoeva,
which is considered one of the founders of modern Tajik music of 80's - 90's.

The basis for this album served as the contemporary poetry of the Pamirs - songs of Oleg Fesov, Daler Nazarov and Muboraksho Mirzoshoeva.
Inspirational lyrics in Farsi sound on the disc to the accompaniment of light jazz and percussion, harmoniously blending into a single meditation course - is
time and cultural barriers of perception.

 

Review from Matthew Forss (Inside World Music):

The late-Pamiri Tajik musician, Muboraksho Mirzoshoyev (1961-2000), was a pioneer of Tajiki popular music--especially in the 1980's and 90's. His music is reinvented by Baraka in a more traditional, classical, and jazz-centered atmosphere. This is not rock or pop. In fact, the music does not seem to possess any Tajiki similarities. The rousing percussion is slightly Middle Eastern, but equally European. The lilting melodies and outstanding vocals by Devika Evsikova and others make this Tribute... album stand-out from the crowd. The Central Asian, Persian, and North African-like percussion and wandering vocals make it apparent that Muboraksho was a composition master. The talents of Evsikova and a host of others on santoor, bass guitar, piano, sax, oud, guitar, flute, darbuka, congo, trumpet, and other fine instruments, provide a rich foundation for the original compositions. The music is ideal for fusion fans and those interested in traditional and classical Middle Eastern or Central Asian music.
