In his teenage years, Ghazi Faisal Al -Malafi listened to stories from his grandfather, one of the last divers of the pearl of Kuwait. Although the nation’s transformation into an oil-based economy has put an end to the pearl diving industry-Kuwait prohibited this practice in 1955-its music lives on the thanks of scientists and artists such as Molivie, and he himself is an ethnic psychologist and jazz in jazz.

on Live in the bay! (Bay refers to the Arabian Gulf), and he heads Boom Boom. Diwan, which displays the director of the Afro -Urbu Ovarer, in five pieces that mimic Kuwaiti Cosmopolitan through Intertwing Diving Styles, Central African dance sounds, Central Africa dances, American jazz and Blues widely. The album is fully rich in feeling and knowledge. It’s excellent jazz if you don’t know much about its roots and even the best jazz if you do.

Boom refers to Boom.diwan to a particularly important type of the ship, one of which is prominent enough to appear in the national logo of Kuwait itself – a good symbol to work together, which is very important in the jazz mixture. “Diwan” is a translation of the name of a house room, among other things, Kuwaiti sailors meet to play music, which raises more intimate dimension in their lives. It is a name, like a band, realizes the importance not only ammunition, but the full performance in honoring divers, daily trips and sacrifices.

In this context, the opening track, “Ana Mashoof”, is especially painful, ten minutes of destructive depression, scattered and amazing. The guitar in the Moliva flows into the O’Farrill keys, the bright stars in the water. Fixed from the mutation. The Kuwaiti rhythm line in the Diwan (Hamad bin Hussein, Hamed Saeed, Abdullah Al -Muttari, and Muhammad Al -Mawdar) Morsi every vortex with a melody; Liany Mateo and Clauds Cozens Skip Skip Skip. Molivie sings sad words, indicating that there should be more than one of our separate. It is a lament against the background of inequality. In a more autistic world, it may be an invitation to hope.

Music grows more exciting with “Muneera”, supported by the warmth of the Congolese Rhumba. Clarinet Jasper Shojo Dots is a particularly bold presence, as the keys and chains climb to its electrified peak. Boom.diwan, this momentum is easily riding in “blue” rotation, a swinging piece like the celebration hall melody but cries like solid rocks. “Compay Doug” begins the piano ropes that are scattered in O’Farrill in an empty space but soon comes together in a high -density madness of the cheerful guitar and a low end. The record ends with “Utviklingssang”, a sad greeting to the late jazz music pioneer.

to Live in the bay! , Ghazi Al -Malafi brings his careful research in life with the help of his capable citizens. This is a wonderful and profound personal work, such as Kuwaiti pearl divers music, which comes out of meetings between performance artists with various backgrounds and experience. It is music, first and foremost, and it is also a more powerful grant for how it emotionally works. It is a communication between the musicians, between cultures, between times, and between artists and audiences, was beautifully done.
