Among Brothers

Abdelli

With no preconceived idea, and with the openness of mind of a newborn child, Abdelli and I let our inspiration be guided by signs that capture our imagination. The source of these signs is familiar; we know it through experience. Its name is destiny, fate or coincidence, "that which must be". As with the recording of 'New Moon' (1995, Real World), it is by destiny that our footsteps were guided across four continents, and that we were given to work with exceptional musicians in all the countries where we recorded this album.

Eight years after the release of 'New Moon', 'Among Brothers' was born out of the encounter of Abdelli's music and Berber singing with the music of Cape Verde and Azerbaijan, as well as with the music of Burkina Faso and the Maghreb.
