The duo of Didier and Loy Ehrlich (who plays
Hajouj, a traditional instrument comparable to a bass, and keyboards)
has been expanded to a trio with the addition of percussionist
Steve Shehan
Hadouk is now a trio of adventure-seeking multi-instrumentalists
who are adroit at freeing both your mind and your body. Exciting,
exhilarating, and not to be missed.
As a trio of multi-instrumentalists,
the sonic possibilities are endless and exhilarating. There is
an enchanting quality so pervasive you may feel like the fourth
member of this trio, as Didier leads another magical musical
tour into uncharted lands.

Loy EHRLICH more than adds his own
touch to the music : one of the pieces is his own composition,
he is featured as a soloist on keyboards, and he also did the
recording and the mix of the album. And American Steve SHEHAN
who also plays with such luminaries as Bob Dylan and
Paul Simon, is the perfect counterpoint to his colleagues, performing
on a vast array of percussion instruments (djembe, congas, sanza,
derbouka, hadgini...), he co-wrote the last title 'Vegetal Groove' Seeing them perform live is a treat. "Shamanimal" is Didier's best album to date, along
with "Fluvius". Get it
