Timeless Cross-cultural Qawwals

Shye Ben Tzur, Jonny Greenwood and the Rajasthan Express – Junun (Nonesuch, 2015)

Junun is a spectacular two-disc album that brings together Indian musical traditions, Sufi and Jewish spirituality and western music elements. Israeli musician and composer Shye Ben Tzur collaborated with Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood (England), and the Rajasthan Express, a group of Indian musicians that provide the vibrant brass band and percussion sections as well as mesmerizing Qawwali vocals.

The album was recorded in early 2015 in an improvised studio inside the 15th-century Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, India. Shye Ben Tzur composed the music and used. The lyrics include traditional Sufi poems and original verses by Shye Ben Tzur. The vocals are in Urdu and Hebrew.
