Izvorišta 450: Dunjaluk, Enji, Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali
I have come to the last backlog. This show was broadcast last week, and in it I focused on the new albums of Dunjaluk, Enji and Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali.

Dunjaluk - Vrbas EP (Selfreleased 2025.)
Dunjaluk has a new EP, and once again it's masterful! Two and a half years after their debut album, the Croatian experimental sevdah duo have released an EP containing five tracks — two previously unreleased, two created in collaboration with the Viennese trio wh/m and a remix released by Lenhart Tapes. Half an hour that flies by and invites you to press repeat.
Enji – Sonor (Squama 2025.)
Enkhjargal Erkhembayar, known as Enji, impressed me with her last album "Ulaan", on which she combined the vocal style of Mongolian Urtiin duu - long, drawn-out songs traditionally performed at special ceremonies - with an improvisational jazz approach. Now she has released her new album "Sonor", which simply picks up where Ulaan left off. Enji is emerging as one of the most interesting vocalists blending jazz with traditional music.
Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali - At the Feet of the Beloved (Real World 2025.)
Almost 20 years have passed since the last album by Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali. The nephews of the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan have now returned with an album that represents the qawwali tradition in its most beautiful form. “At The Feet Of The Beloved” is euphoric and fantastic - just as it should be.

Sababa 5 - Vu

Dunjaluk - Vrbas
Dunjaluk - Kamen gori (Lenhart Tapes Remix)
