The Producer and Percussionists

The recordings for Darbuka were produced by Lothar Krell and recorded by Stempel (one of Germany’s best

known engineers) over a period of four months at Klangwelt Studios in Frankfurt. Prior to recording Lothar and

Ethnomusicologist Basem Darwisch-Schürmann researched and discussed the project with many Arabic and

Turkish musicians and musicologists and resourced all available recorded traditional music archives.
