Oasis by Ensemble Al Asdeka Ensemble Al Asdeka : Oasis.
 Spicy and hypnotic melding of arabic and jazz.

Lush instrumentation and evocative interpretations of folk melodies from a geographical area covering Turkey and Armenia all the way to Andalucian Spain. Guitar, flute, sax and violin punctuated by Middle-eastern rhythms and seasoned with jazz and rock influences-- exuberance coupled with restraint. For the world music lover, a complete album, created with attention to every detail, using the very best production gear. Produced and engineered by Robyn Robins.

Reviews:
"The hypnotic gypsy melodies of Ensemble Al-Asdeka will spice up a cold winter's night by transporting your shivering body to the hip-shaking shores of the Mediterranean with just one listen."
Emily Stavrou, Production Coordinator, Schuler Books and Music

"Ensemble Al-Asdeka's music is undeniably infectious. Each piece creates a visual journey in the mind of the listener through the sounds of the Middle East, which are obviously foreign but strangely comforting."
Joey Marburg, Shore Magazine
