Karuan

A 12 track album () — released March 3rd 2008 on Sunshine Enterprises Mcon

Karuan´s long awaited follow up to his debut "Dohuki Ballet" is finally here, entitled "Pop Arif". In the tradition of another famous Kurdish musician, Mohamed Arif, his music has taken a slight turn towards pop music. But neither Mr. Arif nor Karuan intended to take this route, it all came totally natural. The album title therefore, can be understood as a homage to modern Kurdish music in general and Mr. Arif specifically. His talent to incorporate the most diverse instruments into his clever and thought out arrangements have been driven to perfection on "Pop Arif". Flutes, guitars and foremost vocals are arranged and fitted into his soulful productions.His open minded approach towards other genres, is best manifested with his selection of guest musicians: Classically trained Mara Mastalir, the up & coming L´Enfant Terrible, the leftfield spoken word artist Odditeee, Lai Cheun and Metin Yillmaz Kendal. Pop Arif takes the listener on a carpet ride through Kurdish mountains, down to Brooklyn and back to Vienna.
