about

"Pianist Tarek Yamani's second release Lisãn Al Tarab is a sublime and innovative exploration of the common ground between Jazz and Arabic musical heritage. The title loosely translates as "Language of the Music" although there is no equivalent word to tarab in English. Tarab is the unique concept of music fused with its ecstatic, emotional impact, and has become synonymous with classical Arab song." - Hrayr Attarian, ALL ABOUT JAZZ,

"... this singularly engaging record, with its organic and vibrant atmosphere, ingeniously erases the boundaries between two cultures. Full of poetry, mysticism and intricate yet accessible extemporizations it is a true expression of the universality of music."
- Rob Garratt, TIME OUT DUBAI,

"Tarek Yamani’s second album as leader is a fascinating, assured work that builds on the successes of 2012’s Ashur. There’s a staggering level of interplay between the trio. Displaying an ECM-influenced lightness, countered with an edge of post-bop attack, the performances are at once both beautifully free and meticulously detailed;
But however sublime the group, it’s the unusual material – with its exotic scales and rhythmic complexities – which mean this album demands to be heard."
- Victor Argo, YOUR MIDDLE EAST,

"... The music on Lisan al Tarab is innovative and captivating from the beginning to the end. It is emotional and it is visual."
