BAND ORIENT: Ancient & Modern, East & West, World Music, Jazz & Blues, all these combine in this dynamic Ethno recording featuring the exotic spounds of the ancient oud and the ultra modern EWI - (Electronic Wind Instrument). In the hands of four celebrated virtuoso musicians, the result is truly exilarating - bringing together the soul of the West and the mystic spirit of the East. Band orient was created from a deep love to music from the wish to get musician and different types of music together. In this album we are trying to connect between the middle eastern music, jazz and blues or as we call it ethno jazz, by sharing compositions and improvisation.

Among his many efforts to promote peace between Arabs and Israelis, Dalal has created a “Concert for Peace,” and written an album entitled “Inshallah Shalom,” which loosely translates to “God willing there shall be peace.” He has toured with a band of Palestinian musicians, but when the second intifada started, they were forbidden to travel together.
