My latest review for RootsWorld online magazine is by Palestinian singer Rim Banna, who explores an all-inclusive message in delicate political times. This one boasts a couple of ECM connections. It is arranged and produced by Bugg e Wesseltoft, who has appeared on albums by Terje Rypdal, Jan Garbarek, Arild Andersen, and Sidsel Endresen. It also features guitarist Eivind Aarset in a characteristically atmospheric role. Click the cover to read my review and hear samples of the album.
