BARAKA is a japanese band, made of a guitar player, a bass player and a drummer, the classic line-up of the good ol' power-trio. Since 1997, the band has released six albums and made a lot of live performances, including an explosive set at the French ProgSud festival in the year 2006, making a huge impression. The group's initial influences included LED ZEPPELIN and KING CRIMSON, without mentioning Frank ZAPPA and Jimi HENDRIX, but its music is a sort of frantic fusion, with heavy guitar parts. Simply named "VII" (2007), this new Musea Parallèle release plays a Progressive jazz-rock fusion, more melodic than before, with constant mood and rhythm changes. Let's also note an aventurous suite, "Bharmad", clocking at 20 minutes. Brilliant, innovative and inspired !
