Urban Dervish (New Release 2004) Urban Dervish is the new "impossible to describe but utterly irresistible" album from Oojami. With an uncompromising attitude towards musical freedom of expression, it is as fresh as the earliest days of punk, with the party feel mixed with jazzy worldwide flavours. On this album Oojami fuses Turkish elements with a myriad of cultural traditions, providing a whirling dervish cyclone of sound with layers of attitude. Thirteen songs fuse trademark Turkish percussion with influences ranging from the Philippines to Mozambique. Funk and break beats slink up to belly dancing and Sufi nuances, topped with vibrant Latin and African rhythms.

The success of Oojami's last album 'Bellydancing Breakbeats' culminated in sexy French actress Audrey Tatou gyrating her hips to Oojami's 'Fantasy' in the cult film 'Dirty Pretty Things'. As if life couldn't get any better, Urban Dervish has upped the musical stakes considerably. The freshness and childlike enthusiasm of previous albums remain, but production quality and composition just keep getting better and better, leaving no doubt that Necmi Cavli is of the most exciting, innovative and groundbreaking producers in today's vibrant global beat scene. It's live incarnation Oojami combines male and female belly dancers with mesmerising Sufi dancing, providing a vivid musical experience for the eyes. It's no wonder that the band is building up a strong fan base of open-minded music fans eager to appreciate new and exciting global sounds. Oojami once again provide the definitive soundtrack for this multicultural generation.
