Souvenance is the first double album by oud player Anouar Brahem, recorded in May 2014 and released on ECM Records a few months later on November 28.
Composition
The album was written during the
Arab Spring in
Tunisia, Brahem says about this that "I had to wait for the pressure to fall, before I could resume work." and that "I don’t claim a direct link between my compositions and the events that have taken place in Tunisia ... but I was deeply affected by them."
