In Love with a Gazelle Because of Her Graceful Gait: Aromates and "Demarche Voluptuese - Epris d'une Gazelle"

Today's random tune is called Demarche Voluptuese - Epris d'une Gazelle, and is performed by Aromates, a French ensemble Aromates led by percussionist Michèle Claude. The ensemble fuses the ancient and contemporary, uses old and new instruments, and explores into gypsy and Cuban rhythms and jazz in its music. Its first album, Jardin des Myrtes (Garden of Myrtles - 2005), features traditional Arab-Andalusian songs played by the musicians on traditional instruments. The music takes you straight back to an Umayyad court in Spain - you might even be in the presence of the Caliph himself. Demarche Voluptuese - Epris d'une Gazelle can be found on Jardin des Myrtes (2005).
