Koster / Morgenland All Star Band - Live in Beirut [CD]

The Morgenland All Star Band first came together in 2012 at the Morgenland Festival in Osnabrück. Uniting musicians from the Middle East and Europe, the group is defined by the diverse artistic backgrounds of it's members and by the crossing of musical boundaries. From traditional music to jazz and rock, each of their performances is full of opposites and surprises. This release was recorded live at Global Week for Syria, Masrah Al Medina Theatre, Beirut in June 29th, 2017. The pieces included feature works primarily by the artists in the ensemble, as well as arrangements of traditional tunes. Especially notable is the inclusion of the Yalla! Children's choir on the track 'Hal Asmar El Loun.'
