█▓ "A digital Renaissance man, Smadj, a sort of African ▓█
█▓ Brian Eno has created one of the most outstanding ▓█
█▓ debuts in recent years." -Daily Telegraph UK ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ "This sound has poise, passion, space, depth and on ▓█
█▓ this album, a welcome simplicity." -Songlines ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ Rasa Music is delighted to announce the release of, ▓█
█▓ "Take It and Drive" by Tunisian producer, engineer ▓█
█▓ and oud virtuoso, SMADJ. A product of the Parisian ▓█
█▓ dance scene, though Tunisian by birth, Smadj (aka ▓█
█▓ Jean-Pierre Smadja) has successfully blended his ▓█
█▓ roots with his musical tastes to combine North ▓█
█▓ African & electronic music with Latin, jazz and ▓█
█▓ oriental sounds. To complement his unique vision, ▓█
█▓ Smadj has drawn on the talents of some of the most ▓█
█▓ exciting musicians currently recording outside of the ▓█
█▓ mainstream in contemporary music. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ Amongst those contributing to this project are ▓█
█▓ Mercury Award Winner Talvin Singh, Amit Chatterjee, ▓█
█▓ who guests on guitar and vocals, and Mehdi Haddab, ▓█
█▓ who also partners Smadj in the duo DuOud. Alongside ▓█
█▓ these excellent musicians is one of the great vocal ▓█
█▓ finds of recent times -- Mali's Rokia Traore. She ▓█
█▓ contributes on 'He Said' and 'Fatwords', two of the ▓█
█▓ standout moments on this album, which are likely to ▓█
█▓ be released as singles over the coming months. Aside ▓█
█▓ from the collaborations, Take It and Drive also ▓█
█▓ features a number of intimate, minimalist tracks -- ▓█
█▓ utilising and illustrating Smadj's craft with both ▓█
█▓ electronica and the oud. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ Smadj's previous work with DuOud took the oud - a ▓█
█▓ beautiful instrument that lends itself to Turkish, ▓█
█▓ North African and Middle Eastern interpretation - to ▓█
█▓ new heights. DuOud built an absorbing musical cycle ▓█
█▓ and that collaboration and the subsequent touring ▓█
█▓ over the past couple of years, has resulted in Take ▓█
█▓ It and Drive, a logical step forward. --- RasaMusic blip ▓█
