Cymin Samawatie, Ketan Bhatti - Trickster Orchestra (Album Trailer) | ECM Records

Cymin Samawatie, Ketan Bhatti Trickster Orchestra available on CD, download and streaming: https://ECM.lnk.to/TricksterOrchestraID ECM 2696 Singer Cymin Samawatie and percussionist Ketan Bhatti from the Berlin-based group Cyminology apply their poetic musical language on a larger scale with the Trickster Orchestra. Under Cymin’s and Ketan’s artistic direction, the orchestra interprets their characteristic blend of trans-traditional contemporary music. Cymin draws inspiration from ancient to modern verses spanning psalms to texts by Sufi poets Rumi and Hafiz, performing not only in Farsi but also in Hebrew, Turkish, and Arabic. With growing instrumentation comes an expansion of dynamics, textures, and colours.
