Hadouk
Didier Malherbe and Loy Ehrlich | Zebra Records


By Dave Hughes
Comments (1)        

Didier Malherbe and Loy Ehrlich's Hadouk is a CD that should have appeal for those into the "world music" scene. Malherbe and Ehrlich employ a wide range of wind and percussion instruments, plus occasional stringed instruments, from eastern Europe and Africa in an engaging set of earthy yet intricate tunes. There's little jazz here, in the traditional sense, but the program abounds with interesting rhythms and light improvization on each of the tunes' basic motifs, many of which are quite catchy and memorable. (Zebra Acoustic ZA 44409)

Tracks:Hadouk; Vol De Nuit; Dame Des Sables; Loukoumotive; Bal Des Oiseaux; Effarvatte; Montaulieu; Callibistri; Marsyas; Caspienne Blues. (45:35)

This was the second album where these two musicians worked together, and along with US drummer and percussionist Steve Shehan (also playing on this album) they pretty much coallesced here as the Hadouk Trio. There are 3 more albums available, and a forth 'Utopies' with contributions from Jon Hassell. By late 2009 the trio is still active, but all members have other projects as well.
