Rima Khcheich

Rima Khcheich is a talented singer from Lebanon. Here she teams up with stellar Dutch jazz saxophonist Yuri Honing and his trio in a live performance. Highly recommended: their Arabic version of Bjork's "Isobel" is alone worth the price of the cd. They perform versions of several classic Arabic songs ("Emta Hata'araf", "La Enta Habibi", "Ma Dam Tihib Betenkour lieh") which are re-arranged to include compelling jazz improvisations.





Yuri Honing - tenor saxophone
Tony Overwater - double bass
Joost Lijbaart - drums
Rima Khcheich- vocals
Basem Havar - djose
Latif Al-Obaidy - ud, darbuka, riqq
