Rahala is a conglomeration of arabic and german musicians. Their music takes us through dense atmospheric pieces which on one hand have influences in oriental music and on the other, lean towards european jazz.
Rahala is an Egyptian-German co-production of Hosam Shaker and Michael Wehmeyer with five Egyptian and five German musicians. It's the first Worldjazz-group that boasts kanun, muzmar and rababa and ventures into the juxtaposition of many influences from all directions. Hosam Shaker (kanun) studied music at the age of fourteen at the Egyptian Academy of Arts in Cairo, obtaining his Master's Degree" in 1989. He led the "Arabic Sextett" of the Cairo Opera, performing in Japan, Korea and Europe. Formerly a member of the World music Group "Sharkiat", Hosam played with Roman Bunka's "Color me Cairo" at the 1994 Berlin Jazz Festival. He was honored as one of the finest musicians in the Middle East. Today, Hosam runs the Egyptian Institut for Folk Instruments and Heritage in Cairo and, since the beginning of 1998, he has been performing with the Trio and Quartet Rahala. Michael Wehmeyer (p, keyboard, frame-drum) grew up under the musical and personal influences of Mal Waldron, Christian Burchard and Roman Bunka. For 14 years, he traveled with the legendary group "Embryo" in Europe, India, Africa and Arabia, playing with the "Karnataka College of Percussion" (India), the "Yoruba DunDun Orchestra" (Nigeria), Paramashivam Pillar, Ramesh Shottam (both India), and Alan Blairman, Charlie Mariano (both USA). He was also co-founder of the group Dissidenten. Currently, Michael composes soundtracks for film, television and theater and established the projects, "Ethnic Affairs" and "Rahala." Since late 1997, Michael Wehmeyer is also a member of "Kirit" and is in the throes of finishing his first solo CD.
