Hisham - Somewhere in a Dream (1993)

Exotic Middle Eastern textures meet hi-tech sophistication on this dazzling debut from Hisham (Hee-shahm). Using synthesizers, samplers and sound effects, his evocative compositions spring to life with full bodied orchestrations. Added flamenco strumming, mighty basslines and fiery Arabic percussion form a new sound that you won't forget. The track "Sarajevo" was inspiration for "Children Under Siege: An Evening of Music For The Children of Bosnia-Herzegovina," a benefit concert held at the Los Angeles Greek Theatre in October.
