info 

Remarkable crossover music inspired by Middle-Eastern and North- African culture, that he easily merges with his Western roots. Gathered under the tags Sharqi, Blues, Maghreb, Jazz, his innovatve guitar playing takes you on a magical journey. The sparkling sounding western acoustc guitar is put in the spotlight here, armed with oriental microtonal favours triggered by a modifed quarter tone fretboard. In the solo pieces Jan Wouter plays Taqsim, based on classical Arabic maqam performance. Jan Wouter is accompanied by master percussionist Nasser Salameh from Jordan, who brought a great contributon to the album with very tastull swinging poly- rhythmic grooves and colours.
