Notes

All the music on this disc was composed spontaneously on July 9, 1998. Ishmael, an Assyrian American kanunist, and Vince Delgado, an American Middle Eastern percussionist, have between them a total of nearly 80 years experience playing traditional Middle Eastern music. This improvised performance in the Middle Eastern musical style is the natural outgrowth of the collaboration of these two great artists.
