Dhafer Youssef - Birds Requiem

Review by Martins Ekeh

Birds Requiem by Dhafer Youssef is a mesmerizing album that showcases the Tunisian composer and vocalist's unique blend of jazz, world music, and spiritual influences. The album, released in 2013, features Youssef's haunting vocals and oud playing, backed by a talented ensemble of musicians.

The album opens with the title track "Birds Requiem", a haunting instrumental piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Youssef's oud playing is particularly impressive on this track, as he weaves intricate melodies that are both beautiful and haunting.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Blending Souls & Shades (To Shiraz)", "Fuga Hirundinum", and "Ascetic Mood". Each of these tracks showcases Youssef's ability to create complex and layered compositions that draw on a wide range of influences.
