Emad Armoush’s Rayhan - Distilled Extractions Trailer.

Super excited to announce that our new album Distilled Extractions, with my group RAYHAN will come out December 6 on AFTERDAY record label will be available in CDs and on all digital platforms.
It has been a fantastic experience making this album with these incredible musicians:
François Houle, Jesse Zubot, JP Carter, Kenton Loewen, and special guest Marina Hasselberg. Distilled Extractions presents our next stage as a band. It has captured some great sounds and musical dialogues, and it beautifully paints our rapport as musicians and friends who’ve been playing together for many years. Here’s Alex Varty quote about the music on the album: “ With Distilled Extractions, Emad Armoush’s quintet Rayhan has accomplished the nearly impossible: blend outer-limits exploration with the deep soul of Syrian tradition, while simultaneously making this meeting sound as natural as breathing.” Thank you Alex!
Big thank you to John Raham from Afterlife studios for recording and mixing the album, and to François Houle for mastering and releasing the album on his record label.
Thank you to Mark Mushet for great video footage and design.
Grateful thank you to the Canada Council for the arts for their support.
