Camerata Ritmata play Ovshori, Mountain Jewish/Azerbaijani folk dance

Camerata Ritmata is a unique collaboration between classical guitarist Simon Thacker and three leading jazz/world musicians: Paul Harrison (piano), Mario Caribé (bass) and Stuart Brown (drums/percussion).

They forge and explore new genres by combining diverse musics from across the world with contemporary classical and jazz sounds.

Ovshori is a traditional Jewish dance piece from the eastern Caucasus Mountains and literally means "rejoicing" in the native Juhuri language. It is closely related to Azerbaijani music, although its origins are thought to be Persian. Here it has been given the distinctive Camerata Ritmata sound.
