Ghalias magical voice mixes wonderfully with Berts subtle sitar playing into a new sufi-like sound. Belgian classical radio KlaRa (Paul Rans) produced the album.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eGhalia Benali was born in Brussels. She and her family moved back to Tunesia, when\\r\u003cbr\u003eshe was 3 years old. There she lived and studids, until she was 21. As her family was very\\r\u003cbr\u003einterested in arts her childhood was full of music and poetry from all corners of the earth. She came back to Belgium to study graphic design, but at the same time began to sing and act as well.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eBert Cornelis is a young Belgian sitar player who has been studying Indian classical music for 15 years. His first inspiration and teacher was Pandit Ashok Pathak. Bert performed a Guru-Sisha Parampara ceremony with his teacher. This ceremony marks a profound and deep bonding between teacher and pupil.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe cooperation between Ghalia Benali and Bert Cornelis resulted in the project Al Palna, in which these two -seemingly different- cultures meet and blend quite naturally. With the aid of Anwar Aboudragh from Iraq (vocals, jozza), Prabhu Edouard from India (tabla) and Azzedine Jazouli from Morocco (Arab percussion) they made this recording under the guidance of Paul Rans from KlaRa radio.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe result is a very extraordinary cd, that might even be the start of a whole new genre. Berts western roots with strong Indian influences and the liberal way in which Ghalia uses her Arabic music create a magnific new sound, music that comes straight from the heart.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eTracks:  Bharat \/ Anwar \/ Dama Daiman \/ Hanuman \/ Hayamatni \/ Prabhu \/ Ka\\u2019si \/ Chahd \/ Jotar\u003cp\u003eBharat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnwar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDama Daiman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHanuman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHayamatni\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrabhu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKa'si\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChahd\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJotar\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56028929327489,"sku":"1265594","price":25.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61AicpmhRCL._SL1500.jpg?v=1785787760","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1265594","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
