4.Jungle Waltz

3.Rockin' The Golden Horn

2.Check Of Araby

1.Icarus

Fujiyalla develops in 3 distinct section. The first is an ad lib improvisation on a Japanese scale, the second has a Middle-Eastern flavor and the third is definitely African/Moroccan inspired.

1.Fujiyalla

A bluesy pentatonic scale and some funky rhythmes do the trick! 
Groove it, man!

2.Baralalaika Blues

Desert Rose is composed on a pentatonic scale common to the African, Indian and Far East traditions. It uses 2 uneven 10 beats rhythms (2-3-2-3) the first being the Indian Jhaptal and the second the Middle Eastern/Turkish Samai Jurjuna.

3.Desert Rose

Another original composition with a Middle Eastern mystical flavor featuring the Turkish long neck lute Saz and the Violin.

4.Mevlana

Definitely a Shiva number, based on the Indian raga Shivaranjani (the colors of Shiva) and named after Lord Shiva's "Nataraja" aspect as the Lord of the dance, destroying (thus recreating) the world.

5.Nataraja
