@jazz @lebelge have you heard #NduduzoMakhathini’s collab with #UAE and #Kuwait #khaleeji #jazz band #BoomDiwan? Spiritual Jazz you’ve never heard before although some elements will feel quite familiar.

Hey @burningambulance - just checked out your best of 2022 second half list, and curious whether you heard this album by #BoomDiwan x #NduduzoMakhathini? We commissioned it at @TheArtsCenterNYUAbuDhabi and I think it’s in your wheelhouse. Afro Khaleeji (Gulf) Bahri music (sea arts / Pearl diving music) meets South African #jazz. https://boomdiwan.bandcamp.com/album/minarets

@nigelrampant just looked at the track listing and already know I’m gonna love it. Also forwarded it to #GhaziAlMulaifi, guitarist and leader of #BoomDiwan. He’ll live it too. Check out #Minarets and hopefully it earns a place on the list. https://open.spotify.com/album/3CBYXmw40dg8qDS90N2JEV?si=pRJEkCiQSK2kswLckaEDDg
