Nesrine: Kan Ya Makan

Cellist Nesrine creates bohemian mixes of France and North Africa on this richly earth toned released. She mixes and matches with a wide variety of talents, including Vincent Huma/g, Gregoire Musso/b-key, Anissa Nehari/perc, Rhani Krija/perc and Paco Soler/tb for some windswept Saharan breezes. Her cellos is lyrical on her solo “Prelude” while her singing over the synth pulses get a bit poppish on “Ya Line”. A deep Middle Eastern feel glides along the big bass line of “Dunia” with mystical North African flavors melding with Left Bank artsy-ness create rich ideas on the reflective “Flou” and earthy “Fear” with full crescent moons glowing on “Leila”. Strings are bowed, picked and strummed on the march of “Sortilege” with Juliette Saumagne included on the gypsy spirit of “Bonnie and Clyde”. Caravan nights.
