Fareed Haque Group
"Cosmic Hug"
Magnatude Records MT-2307
When artists like Medeski, Martin and Wood, Sting, and Joe Zawinul need a
stellar guitarist to take their work over
the top, they turn to Fareed Haque, who never fails to deliver the six
stringed goods. Moving fluidly between jazz and
classical guitar with a healthy dose of world music sensibilities, Fareed's
versatility has created a demand for him with
prominent artists in both genres and beyond. He’s a virtuoso guitarist,
playing acoustic and electric guitar, sitar and
even a hybrid guitar/sitar.
His band, the Fareed Haque Group, incorporating a DJ and a tabla player
alongside traditional instruments, has
been described as a "tantric meditation." With diverse cultural and musical
influences, the Fareed Haque Group is
opening new doors with a completely fresh approach to world music that
grooves and percolates. The group makes its
Magnatude Records debut with Cosmic Hug.
Cosmic Hug is an unique combination of world, jazz, and jam. Earthy,
vital, breezy, electric, and truly eclectic,
Cosmic Hug defies easy categorization. The Fareed Haque Group have a sound that will appeal to many while
compromising to no one. The Cosmic Hug CD also includes a bonus
interactive section including an interview with
Fareed Haque discussing his guitar techniques, as well as clips of the
Fareed Haque Group performing live.
