Argentinian songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alejandro Franov is
one of the key figures of the alternative folk and world music scene of
his country, brought to worldwide critical acclaim by singer/sonwriter
and actress Juana Molina. Franov collaborated with Juana Molina on
three of her albums, "Segundo" (2000), "Tres Cosas" (2002) and "Son"
(2006). With "Khali" Staubgold is proud to present his first worldwide
release, after five solo
albums which have only been released in South America and Japan.
"Khali"
which is mainly based on three instruments - the African mbira, the
Paraguayan harp arpa and the Indian sitar - is the result of Franov's
studies
in African and Arabic music, especially the music of the Shona from
Zimwbabwe. He carefully combines these unique instruments with
percussion,
voices and minimal electronics in order to create a comfortably
floating stream of world music in the purest sense, hardly relating to
any
certain country or region. …File under: electronica/folk/world
