YATHRIB - fertile oasis, about 200 km land inwards east of the Red Sea. Home of Arab and Jewish tribes. Melting pot of these cultures.

YATHRIB - These are Jews, Muslims and Christians, who together create a sound experience, a music, completely at ease and far removed from any issues of faith or differences  who will surely remain unparalleled for a long time to come.



With all the technical polish, musical virtuosity, compositional extravagance and finesse of the arrangements, MICHEL SAJRAWY’S YATHRIB never lacks that special something that lets music become a permanent impression: Soul!

Very, very carefully and yet powerfully, guitar and oud approach a sensitive topic without getting tied down in sentimentality... This cd kidnaps, seduces, and plays.

YATHRIB is electrifying and saturated with vibrating emotion, full to the brim with life!]]>
