A "holy grail" of Soviet-era Jazz-Fusion from Almaty, Kazakhstan. Released on the Melodiya label, this masterpiece led by drummer Takhir Ibragimov is a sophisticated blend of Progressive Rock, experimental fusion, and Central Asian ethnic influences.
The album features a unique sonic landscape where Sitar and Tabla meet deep funky grooves and soaring Saxophone solos. A must-listen for collectors of rare World Fusion and fans of experimental jazz-rock.
