With dense melodic imagery, a deep-rooted traditional focus, and an embracing all-inclusive approach to the arrangements, AZA has created a masterful work in Tamghra Wushen, a rich and seasoned take on the traditional palette of music of the Amazigh people of Morocco. The music weaves stories of deep Moroccan heritage, while fully embracing a more modern mix of instruments from all parts of the world. As drum sets dance with tabla grooves, and the mysterious sounds of oud and ribab mix with acoustic and electric guitars, the vocals usher a haunting and passionate journey through the heart of Amazigh culture, emerging with a group of ten songs so wonderfully arranged and presented, you'll feel as if you were there. The variety never disappoints: passionate ballads break way to funk-tinged dance cuts, all skillfully conveyed by the gripping vocal stylings of vocalists Fattah Abbou and Mohamed Aoualou. The potent spices, the windy deserts, the flowing robes of dancing colors- Tamghra Wushen opens your heart to the flavor of a country and culture rich with vibrancy and spirit, and leaves you feeling breathless.
