 “Roots Beneath the Rain” is a poetic journey into the heart of the earth. The track combines soft melodies and rain-like textures to evoke the deep roots that connect us to memory and tradition. Both intimate and expansive, it reflects the eternal cycle of growth, renewal and belonging.

Numbers sing if you listen close enough.

Ramanujan is a 12-track concept album that turns the genius of Srinivasa Ramanujan into sound — his infinite partitions, prime rhythms, ghostly functions, and cosmic formulas reimagined as Indo-Edwardian fusion. Think tabla and sitar tangled with string quartets, blues guitars in smoky cafés, and choirs that sound like both temple bells and cathedral echoes.

JUAN COLE Wrote describing Belaaks "One of the more original Arabic music albums of 2009 was Jean-Marie Riachi’s “Belaaks,” a hybrid of jazz, gypsy, Latin American and other influences performed by some of today’s leading Lebanese singers. The CD exemplifies the role of Beirut in not just transmitting culture between east and west but in achieving creative syntheses that underline the more positive side of globalization.

The title single– “Belaaks” [On the Contrary]- Arab jazz from – Jean Marie Riachi Feat. Rami Ayach & Abir Nehme — is an Arabic version of of the 1947 hit, “Quizás, Quizás, Quizás,” by Cuban songwriter Osvaldo Farrés, which has been covered by many artists, including Cole Porter, Doris Day, Celia Cruz, Samantha Fox and the Pussycat Dolls."
