Album review:

Siwan, the title of keyboardist and composer Jon Balke's sixth album for ECM, is derived from a mixed language known as "Aljamiado," spoken during the Spanish Inquisition. Scholars define the word as "equilibrium" or "balance." In a sense, the definition of the title is key to this gorgeous work by Balke. Commissioned by the Oslo Club Cosmopolite in 2006, Balke decided to create a program of composed and improvised music that would cross three cultures and time periods. First he invited Moroccan vocalist Amina Alaoui to perform with his own international group, and enlisted Bjarte Eike's early music group Barokk Solistene as well.
