shaghara lemoune, arabic for lemon tree, is the debut full length project from egyptian-american bassoonist and producer yousef el-magharbel. eleven songs entirely made on bassoon—harmonies, bass, drums, everything.
shuffling nimbly through jazz, soul and groove, yousef’s album is a window into egyptian family life and culture. he uses the motif of a lemon tree in the backyard of his family home to explore vernacular expressions + dynamics (between self & others) that reflect his upbringing and ecology.
written, recorded, mixed, & produced by yousef el-magharbel
