Land Of Kush is a large orchestra assembled and directed by Montreal composer and musician Sam Shalabi, one of the city’s most unique and
prolific players over the past decade. Shalabi performs constantly on electric guitar and oud, with regular appearances in numerous jazz and
free improv ensembles, membership in a kaleidoscope of avant rock bands, and at the compositional helm of various musical assemblages
large and small. Shalabi has seen a dozen full-length album recordings released in the last eight years, under his own name and with Shalabi
Effect (on Alien8Recordings) and as a member of Molasses, Detention, Po, ‘Gypt Gore and Nutsack. His eponymous albums often include genre-
defying compositions for larger ensembles and Shalabi has also mounted many live performances and commissioned compositions for hybrid
orchestras that have gone largely undocumented. Land Of Kush is among the most ambitious and impressive of these: the group involves over
30 musicians and two dozen different instruments, including a cluster of strings, horns and woodwinds, multiple percussionists, bassists and
guitarists, four vocalists, electronics, snyths, darbouka and oud. « hide |
