Our Take

DAPHNA SADEH & KNUD STUWE's latest offering, "Eastern Strings," is a mesmerizing fusion of traditional Middle Eastern and Western music that will have you saying "shukran" for introducing your ears to something truly unique. Sadeh's masterful command of the double bass combined with Stuwe's delicate touch on the oud creates a sonic landscape that is both ethereal and grounded.

The album opens with "Desert Dream," a hauntingly beautiful track that evokes images of sand dunes stretching endlessly into the horizon. Sadeh's bowing on the double bass adds a sense of urgency, while Stuwe's plucking on the oud creates a sense of wanderlust.

Tracks like "Bazaar Jam" and "Istanbul Nights" are lively and energetic, drawing listeners in with their infectious rhythms and intricate melodies. Sadeh and Stuwe's chemistry is undeniable, as they trade off solos with ease and precision.

But it's the album's closing track, "Sunrise Over the Nile," that truly steals the show. The gentle swell of the strings paired with the soft strumming of the oud creates a sense of peace and tranquility that is unmatched.

Overall, "Eastern Strings" is a triumph of musical collaboration that will leave you clamoring for more. With its seamless blend of Eastern and Western influences, this album is a testament to the power of music to transcend borders and bring people together. Verdict: 8.5/10
