All About Jazz

Nomad Songs is the twenty-third studio album by German world musician Stephan Micus, recorded over three years and released on ECM in June 2015. Always seeking new traditional instruments, Nomad Songs sees the addition of two new instruments to Micus's repertoire: the genbri (a Moroccan lute) and the ndingo (a Botswanan lamellophone).

Reception

In a four-and-a-half star review for All About Jazz, John Kelman said "Nomad Songs is, despite the perennially pensive and reflective nature of his entire body of work, a shift from the more conceptually focused Panagia, which was based around prayers to the Virgin Mary."
