Pendulum - Sami Moukaddem
Sami Moukaddem
Born in Lebanon, guitarist and composer Sami Moukaddem "draws fruitfully on his Middle Eastern heritage to create this fascinating jazz hybrid."-The Irish Times. High praise for the adopted Dubliner, whose music incorporates vivid imagery from his formative experiences growing up in the Lebanon and his relationship at one remove from the social, political and humane concerns of his homeland. A musical tagine that marries original tunes with Arabic grooves, and seasoned by Irish, Lebanese, and Spanish musicians, with saxophonist Brendan Doyle, bassist Jose Carlos and percussionist Robbie Harris, augmented by the group's latest recruit, vocalist Riona Hartman.
