A beautiful album of sacred chanting and haunting melodies. It was recorded in the courtyard of a 500-year-old-house in Aleppo, one of the world's oldest cities. Metallic 6 panel digipack. "As one of the earth's oldest continuous urban cities gets erased from the cultural memory of the volatile Levant in the present time (2012-1013), these recordings, captured just before the continuous demolition of Aleppo, are an ominous statement from one of its most sacred and ancient vocal traditions."
