RISHAD SHAFI & GUNESH: 45° IN A SHADOW

The third and last album from the Turkmenistan band Gunesh Ensemble is surely the less inventive and the most conventional, but still remain a great album. More fusion oriented than it's predecessors, it's flawless denoting a huge music tecnique from all the members of the band. But overall shine the drum of Rishad Shafi, always able to give an extra to each song with his fantastic beats. 4 stars like 5 for Looking at the Earth are maybe too much, but this band was playing this music in the middle of central asia steps during the communism period, so 4 stars is the right value for this album.
