„Al-Maraya“ (The mirror) is the sonorous title of the new and second Al Andaluz Project album. The title is to be taken literally. „Al-Maraya“ mirrors the Spanish traditions of the Jewish-sephardic, Arabic and Christian music in contemporary and vivid interpretations and shows the true face of the European folk music in all its variety and facets. The meeting of modernity with Al Andalus - the early Muslim part of the medieval Spain - is one of the cradles of the European culture and confronts us with an era that enabled a more or less peaceful concurrence of the Jewish, Muslim and Christian religion and culture. Musicians from Spain, Morocco and Germany and especially the three singers Mara Aranda, Iman Al Kandoussi and Sigi Hausen present this diversity in the Al Andaluz Proejct. „Al-Maraya“, the mirror, shows us what has been lost through the time.
