Review

Assyrian pop singer/songwriter Walter Aziz is responsible for taking Assyrian music to new heights. For a people occupying Northern Iraq, the struggle to mark an identity to the world is priority. Perhaps no medium can better express a soul and identity than music. Walters music strikes a chord in the hearts of young Assyrians and Middle Easterners everywhere with a modern sound and ground-breaking lyrics. Born in Baghdad and currently working out of San Francisco, Walters music and singing is a seamless fusion between the East and West. Walter Aziz is now finished with "Akitu", his full-length Assyrian album from EASTJAM Entertainment. "This is the biggest project of my career so far," he explains. The album, which offers 14 tracks, recorded in five different places across the globe. Sessions took place in Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Germany, and Istanbul, Turkey. There is also a blend of world musicians and instruments on this album. The LP features producers and musicians of Assyrian, American, Canadian, Egyptian, Lebanese, German, Mexican, and Turkish descent. The multicultural influence on the album is born from Walter's passion to assemble a new Assyrian sound that adopts ethnic traditions with modern melodies. Some of the musicians playing on the album have played for Turkish stars such as Sertab Erener, Tarkan, and the great Ibrahim Tatlises. Walter's goal with this album is to help develop Assyrian music as an industry, culture, artform, and message. "This is the time for Assyrians to show themselves, and with music we can express ourselves and our purpose in the world. I collaborate with musicians around the world to introduce our music to many different types of people and hopefully to influence them, as world music influences me. I'm going all the way on this project. It's different from what I've ever done."
