Ensemble Marc Depond's album Dunes Musique Pour La Terre Et Le Vent is a captivating and enchanting musical journey through the desert landscape. The album is a beautiful fusion of traditional and contemporary music, featuring a blend of Middle Eastern and European instruments, including the oud, ney, violin, cello, and accordion.

The album begins with the track "Le Souffle Du Vent," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting melody and hypnotic rhythm. The ensemble's masterful musicianship is evident in every track, as they seamlessly blend different musical traditions to create a unique and captivating sound.

The album's standout track is "Dunes," which features a beautiful interplay between the ney and violin, creating a sense of movement and fluidity that perfectly captures the shifting sands of the desert. The track "Oasis" is another highlight, with its lush and melodic accordion lines evoking the refreshing coolness of an oasis in the midst of the desert.
