CD ReviewsExcellent L. Rosenthal | Hell | 06/21/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "The tabla player on this album is amazing. He outshines the rubabist, who is also awesome. This album is very Indian in sound. The rags and ghani? (little new to the Afghan music) chosen are of a more minor/dissonant nature than the Afghan music I've heard on popular Afghan websites. The instrument itself is related to sarod, but much more percussive due to frets. The tabla player steals the show though. His use of bhari/khali technique is flawless and easily readable. Clear use of the bayan (bass) drum, not just a blur of bols. But then he hits off these rolls and uses varying stresses and mixes with syncopation. Amazing. As good as Ali Ackbar Khan and his tablaist. An excellent buy!" Amazing musician dsh | 01/15/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Homayun jaan and Toryala jaan are both exceptional musicians and performers, respectively. Living in NorCal, we have the extra advantage of seeing these two live in concert. Check out the "Little Kabul" area of Fremont, CA., especially during the Nowrouz "new year" (March 21st), where there are many concerts and activities going on, possibly a concert featuring Homayun and Toryala.
Cheers, ~dsh~" |
