Jomed

about

Jomed is an intriguing Algerian/Cuban band. One can only speculate how these two musical traditions came together, but Jomed's song "Montuno Noreño" is sung in Arabic and Spanish, combining North African singing style and instruments with Cuban percussion, marimba and brass, all unusual in this context. There is, however, a certain logic in this particular fusion, for it is nothing less than an attempt to reunite the Arab-Andalucian music that has roots in Moorish Spain and the Afro-Spanish music that developed in Spanish-ruled Cuba -- and it works remarkably well.
