Debut CD is CD Baby.com Editor's Pick

Magnatunes Top 10 Best Selling in World catagory

.. Photobucket .. -"Mesmerizing and romantic with its lush instrumentation and hypnotic melodies" Emily Stavrou, Productions Coordinator, Schuler Books and Music.

CD available at Schuler Books in Grand Rapids, MI, CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/ensemblealasdeka. iTunes, and other digital download sites.

New in 2009. Now with Aziza Poggi on vocals and an expanded repertoire!

Founded in 2005 by tabla-player Kathy Roberts after years of living off and on in North Africa with versatile guitarist D. Adam Estner ; Daniel Giacobazzi, a long-time artist of many instruments and genres; and evocative vocalist Aziza Poggi. The ensemble churns out hip shaking tunes that are greater Middle Eastern in flavor, seasoned with rock and jazz influences.

Ensemble Al-Asdeka takes listeners on a melodic journey melding traditional Arabic music from long ago and far away with the modern instrumentation of jazz and rock. The fiery guitar work of D. Adam Estner, velvety flute melodies by Dan Giacobazzi and sultry vocals by Aziza Poggi weave a prismatic tapestry accentuated by driving Middle Eastern rhythms played by Kathy Roberts creating a sound that is uniquely their own.

Well, you sounded great from the street where I was driving around in circles trying to find a parking spot. Grrrrr.
I was so upset. Sorry! I gave up by the time I circled the 5th time and it was almost 6pm. I hope all went well.
Besos,
