Abstract

The article titled "Orile to Berlin" discusses the musical group Ishtirak, a trio of virtuoso improvisers featuring Lebanese multi-instrumentalist Samah Boulmona, Asian-American Dylan Hunter Chee Greene, and Jeremy Thai. The group's name translates from Arabic as "communication/participation" and refers to the strong electricity cable that powered their studio in Beirut. The article praises Ishtirak's ability to survive and flourish despite disasters and highlights their fusion of electronica soundscape, labyrinthine synth lines, and Arabic maqam. The group's joint album, "Orile to Berlin," is described as a vibrant and up-to-date tribute to Afrobeat and West African tunes of the 70s. [Extracted from the article]
