Ud virtuoso and composer Rabih Abou-Khalil lived and studied in Beirut until the Lebanese Civil War forced him to flee to Germany in 1978. In Munich he continued his studies and grew into a respected musician for whom there are no musical boundaries. He uses his oud just as easily in a jazz improvisation as for a fado or klezmer. On Hungry People he mainly mixes Mediterranean and Arab influences… with jazz, assisted by four equally free musical spirits, including the Italian accordionist Luciano Biondini and the French tuba player Michel Godard. Special is the low throat voice with which saxophonist Gavino Murgia sometimes follows the melodies and even scats. Hungry People is intended as a support for the Southern Europeans suffering from the crisis. This happens with bouncy and sunny but never superficial ethno-jazz in which all band members come into their own. (MR)more
