Free Desmyter & Bassem Hawar

The Takenouchi documents describe our planet 20,000 years ago: a catalogue of dynasties, planetary catastrophes, five human races, Human Gods from other galaxies who reigned here, and more. Free Desmyter encountered journalist and archaeologist Wado Kosaka, who has been studying the documents all his life. Now the world is in such chaos, he wants to bring this information to light. In his musical approach, Desmyter opts for an orchestra with leading roles played by the Iraqi djoze player Bassem Hawar, his brother Saad Mahmood Jawad on oud, the singer Khaled Alhafez and himself on piano. The traditional music interacts with woodwind instruments, string quartet, double bass and percussion from Chris Joris. A harmonious amalgam of contemporary classical music, oriental music and jazz.
