Kheir, Amira
Alsahraa
Backed by double bass, acoustic guitar and percussion, and with only the lightest of touches from other guest musicians, Amira Kheir could hardly be accused of over-producing her latest album, Alsahra. No, rather in the spirit of the album title, "The desert", her sound is clear and ascetic, and recorded in the acoustically beautiful space of the Union Chapel, London, it is true and honest reflection of Amira's own compelling live performances.
