Al Andaluz Project is a fascinating collaboration between Spanish world & traditional folk group, L'Ham de Foc and German medieval music ensemble, Estampie - that has already received high praise in the European press.

Their album “Deus Et Diabolus” focuses on the musical landscape of Moorish medieval Spain - when Christian, Muslim and Sephardic-Jewish peoples were successfully interacting - with tolerance, scholarship, the arts, trade and prosperity all flourishing in a multi-cultural society.

There is a breathtaking richness of virtuosity and instrumentation including oud, saz, fiddle, organistrum, zanfona, hurdy-gurdy, nyckelharp, rabab, qanun, etc & assorted percussion :

played by virtuoso musicians Efren López, Michael Popp, Ernst Schwindl, Aziz Samsaoui, Sascha Gotowtschikow and Diego López - as well as the three exceptional vocalists : Sigrid Hausen, Mara Aranda and Iman al Kandoussi.

The album is presented in a striking digipak sleeve with a beautifully designed 28-page booklet of lyrics, text, photos & illustrations.
