Album Notes

Dynamic playing and virtuosity meet in this exciting young ensemble of world-class musicians. The members of Elameno Quintet have toured nationally and internationally with a wide variety of musical projects, and come together to tour this summer. The energy and entrancing sound Elameno creates has sparked rave reviews from the first performance.

Stunning improvisation on the flute, mesmerizing guitar, soulful cello lines, bass as you’ve never heard it before and percussion to knock your socks off. The modern acoustic originals of Elameno Quintet encompass sounds from Jazz and Arabic to Flamenco, Brazilian and Irish. In just 2008, performances and festivals have taken the various members of the quintet to locations including Australia, Syria, Texas, Hawaii, India and Argentina…

And yet, the sound of these five musicians will convince you that they spent their lives performing together. The tones blend, the beats groove and something amazing happens with the unusual combination of these five instruments. Unique and accessible at the same time, the flavor of Elameno Quintet appeals to audiences of all ages and across genres.
