'So Far We Have Come' by Tamsin Elliott and Tarek Elazhary
13 October 2023
I have been enjoying 'So Far We Have Come' - the debut album by Tamsin Elliott and Tarek Elazhary. The multi-instrumentalist Tamsin Elliot is a British folk musician and a co-founder of the folk-jazz fusion group Solana, while the Egyptian oud player Tarek Elazhary brings a background in traditional Arabic music. The combination of their musical styles results in an intriguing and gentle collection of tracks. The album features 16th-century English dance tunes and classical Arabic melodies, backwoods jigs and Cairo folk. The title track, ‘So Far We Have Come’ brings together accordion and oud in a slow, contemplative dance. I also liked the interplay between oud and harp on several tracks. 'So Far We Have Come' is an unusual and lovely album.
