Sakina & Friends met each other for the first time two years ago in Vienna. They display their common repertoire on their first joint album ?Longing? on the label Ahenk. However, the words Longing and Expectation also have Kurdish and Persian names: Bendewari and Intizar. Multilingualism is here the key element. The Kurdish singer Sak?na Teyna breaks away from the style of her previous albums and moves on into jazzy terrain. She is accompanied by musicians who are at home in both world music and jazz: Ensemble director, guitarist and composer Mahan Mirarab has written most of the arrangements. They are rooms of encounter for violinist Efe Turumtay, clarinetist Oscar Antol? and drummer and Tombak player Jorg Mikula and where the incomparable Iranian singer Golnar Shahyar meets for a duet with Sakina.
