Salaam's self-titled first CD is an aural snapshot of the band's magical roots. A fusion of Middle Eastern sounds and Western song structures, the music on this record has mystical and ephemeral qualities. Included are melodies from the Sephardic tradition, Egypt, Armenia, and several original compositions by Dena El Saffar and Megan Weeder.
Recorded and engineered by Grey Larsen at his Sleepy Creek Studios. This album is characterized by a melodic and spatial wholeness drawn from Salaam's experimental beginnings.
