After The Last Sky = بعد السماء الأخيرة by Anouar Brahem, Anja Lechner, Django Bates, Dave Holland , released on ECM in 2025.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

After The Last Sky marks the return of oud virtuoso and composer Anouar Brahem to ECM, eight years after Blue Maqams. That groundbreaking album also featured pianist Django Bates and bassist Dave Holland, both of whom are retained here, along with a new addition in cellist Anja Lechner. The result is a culmination of culminations, blending Brahem’s evolving integrations of jazz, European classical music, and, of course, the modal Arabic maqams at their core. Gaza was firmly on his mind leading up to and during the recording, and the titles reflect this awareness in a contemplative way...

Maqām Beyond Nation 

Maqām Beyond Nation explores a field of music-making that stretches from North Africa to Central Asia; a set of historically fluid and inter-connected creative practices which were transformed under 20th century nationalisms into fixed repertoires.

@Barbarast ! Helemaal vergeten te posten dat we vorige week met #Maqam de mooiste operastukken in een uitverkocht Maldestijn ten gehore mochten brengen.... Een Opera de Mariage.
