Astrakan Café is an album by Tunisian oud player Anouar Brahem recorded in 1999 and released on the ECM label.[1]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek called it "deeply personal, profound music. It is also highly iconographic, with timelessness woven through every measure... This would be traditional music if a tradition such as this -- which is original, though adapted from many sources on inspiration -- actually existed. Highly recommended "[2]
