Description

Released October 27, 2017

Apollo You Sixteen Part II continues Karim Baggili’s exploration of Arabic and flamenco influences, while opening the door more widely to Western textures and freer compositions. Compelling and richly layered, the album balances rock energy, Eastern melodies, and moments of restraint, always placing the songs’ strength at the center. With tracks ranging from the driving force of D Fight to the evocative atmosphere of Ari on the Moon, Baggili once again builds a bridge between East and West, note by note.
