about

A duet album that extends an ongoing musical conversation between Shalabi and Christoff, this album recorded at La Sala Rossa builds on a dialogue between Cairo and Montreal. Inherent to these recordings is an urgency to always question both musically and politically, the tones expand on a dialogue between the musicians about their experiences working within grassroots arts and activist worlds that are inherently connected to growing movements to overturn injustice.

Sam Shalabi wrote in The Wire magazine about Flying Street :

“Our duo began as a friendship that grew out of long conversations about music, social justice and politics and then evolved naturally into this musical dialogue. The core of our approach is to continue that conversation and hear how these two mother instruments (maybe the two most weighted down by their own respective traditions and tropes) might speak directly and simply to each other through improvisation.”

In Sofia

I just spent two weeks in Sofia, and they were the most memorable in my life. The music by Stefan Christoff seems to catch the atmosphere I felt when being in this wonderful city - I'm glad to have found this magic music by a great piano player. And so I can warmly recommend these pieces to anyone who loves Sofia/Bulgaria and Keith Jarrett, come to think of. Nicolas
