about

OUT OF PRINT

Wisaal is an Arabic word that means connections, links
or unities, and this music is our attempt to unite Arabic
musical traditions with Klezmer, Indian, and American
musical influences. The result is a mosaic of sounds
which simultaneously pays homage to tradition and
looks to new horizons.
