About Kelenia
Product Description As featured on PRI's Afropop Worldwide. Special guests Lionel Loueke, Abdoulaye Diabate, and John Benitez. Clarinetist and saxophonist Oran Etkin and his group Kelenia have crafted an extraordinary blend of modern jazz, African, klezmer, and Israeli music that honors tradition while forging a completely distinct path. "Dazzling vocal and guitar patterns over a rhythm section that is like a perfect system." -- New York Times Review "His version of a Malian jazz hybrid includes traces of Middle Eastern modality as well as ebullient swing rhythm ... Mr. Etkin has no trouble keeping his stylistic bearings." -- New York Times "Imagine this: a hip-hop beat meted out by handmade percussion, a balafon (a West African wooden xylophone-like instrument), a small string section playing pentatonic scales, and a bass clarinet lurking its way around all this. That only begins to describe Oran Etkin's one-of-a-kind mosaic of First and Third World cultures." -- jazz.com
