I'd like to introduce to you this wonderful album, full of meditative and inspiring music by Ben Aylon and Roei Hermon, released on September 5, 2025:

Ben Aylon: This album was born in a small room just 100 meters from the ocean in Dakar, Senegal. Far from home, I found a space of stillness where melodies began to appear. What started as solitude became a sanctuary - a place where music could grow from silence, memory, and deep connections with Senegalese life and friends. It's the soundtrack of my journey.

The compositions were written and performed on the xalam, a rare Senegalese string instrument, with the sensitive and beautiful piano accompaniment of my dear friend Roei Hermon.
