Editor's info:
Recorded in Oslo, Norway, back in 1996, Silan is a fine example of the music of Magda's leading artist, Yair Dalal.
Dalal is a master player of the celebrated oud, the ancient Arab lute.
Here he demonstrates his skills by playing music deriving mainly from Arab and Jewish musical traditions. Tracks such as ""Adon Haslichot"" or ""Silan"" are linked to ancient Jewish prayers for Passover and Yom Kippur, the Jewish most sacred holidays. Some tracks, ""Trance"" or ""Dikklat Nur Raga"" for instance, are based on Turkish and Indian music.
All together this is a soothing and relaxing album, a must for ethnical music lovers.
