Named after the dry and dusty Saharan wind that sweeps down across West Africa from November to March.
A floating, majestic fusion of West African desert nomad instruments, backed by a full string orchestra, evoking a feeling of dramatic desert landscapes.
It featurs a Kora (African Harp) which is found all over most of West Africa, from the Niger delta and up towrds the Sahara desert,
This track is huge in it's sound and evokes a feeling of forgotten epochs, a tinge of sadness mixed with a tranquil delicacy.
