๐ Egoless presents: ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ธ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐๐ฏ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ (๐.๐.๐ฆ.)
Born at the crossroads of East & West โ where cultures collide and Dub finds a new voice. The self-titled instrumental album continues the journey that began with "Afro Dub System", this time rooted in the Balkans, Middle East and its rich traditions.
๐ B.D.S. blends Balkan and Middle Eastern folk traditions with roots dub, oriental dub, world music, and acoustic fusion โ featuring instruments like saz, santur, duduk, ney, kaval, darbuka, bendir...
A lot of love and effort went into recording this, and I hope youโll enjoy and support it. Streaming is convenient, but it doesnโt sustain independent artists. If you enjoy the album, consider purchasing it and help spread the word around. Thank you ๐ค
Times are tough and if you canโt afford the album, send a message to
info@empireoftone.com โ youโll still get the album for free.
