SKU
19-HF 002
Yossi Sassi is the ex-guitarist of Israeli progressive metal band Orphaned Land. He left that band to pursue a more personal (not to mention less commercial) music that blends jazz/rock with the music of the Middle East.
The group is
Yossi Sassi-vocals, guitars, bouzouki, charrango, oud, sax, keyboards
Or Lubianker-electric and acoustic bass
Shay Ifrah-drums
Roei Fridman-percussion
Even though Yossi is listed as a vocalist, this album is predominantly instrumental.
"Recorded in 4 countries & 3 continents, "Desert Butterflies" is Yossi Sassi's latest musical journey, merging roots and culturesfrom around the world with contemporary music, pioneering Oriental Rock to the next level. Collaborating with musicians such as Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth), Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal (Guns'n'Roses), Mariangela Demurtas (Tristania, Moonspell)and many more, this conceptual release inspires the listener to ponder about the routine, the deserts of ourlives, and setting sails after your dreams, breaking your misconceptions and raising out of your cocoon to become the butterfly you can be."
