I have gushed about the superb work of oud player extraordinaire Anouar Brahem before. But the music on The Astounding Eyes Of Rita is of another world.
When I make my list of the best things I've heard this year, this album will be there.
The music starts softly and slowly on the first track, The Lover Of Beirut, as if you are waking up from a dream, or just understanding that you are in a dream, or just beginning the slide into a dream.
I have no words to describe the beauty of the rest of this ethereal soulful music so I will let you in on the experience instead.
