Salaam

Salaamsubtly transposes a genre of music few Americans are even aware of into a sonic realm that feels enchanting and exotic, while still strangely familiar. Banning Eyre, NPR We are excited to announce the release of our newest CD! Mediterranean Nights is now available for your listening pleasure... Salaam has delighted audiences for years with its expansive mix of traditional and original Middle Eastern music. Exquisitely rendered melodies are woven with stories and musings, taking the listener on a musical journey. Their sound, while deeply rooted in maqam and entrancing Middle Eastern rhythms, is infused with the band&s;s fresh and innovative interpretations. They have performed throughout the US, recorded seven albums, and have been interviewed and fetured on NPR&s;s All Things Considered. Salaam, whose name means Peace, is a musical ambassador for peaceful coexistence.
