"'Badawi' means 'Bedouin' or 'Desert Dweller', and represents all nomadic people who, like the sounds and rhythms you will hear on this CD, wander but are never lost." - Raz Mesinai

About Badawi: Raz Mesinai (AKA Badawi) was born in Jerusalem, Isreal/Palestine in 1973,and was raised in New York city. Because of a particularly diverse background Mesinai was influenced by all kinds of music especially by the prayers of Sufi Sheik Murshid Hassan, and Jewish story teller and musician Rabbi Schlomo Carlebach, as well as many others. As a child, he spent time in the Sinai Desert with the Bedouins, and later began studying rhythms of Persian, Indian, Yemenite, Moroccan, and Afro-Cuban styles learning a wide range of percussion instruments, including frame drums, the Zarb, the Darabuka, and the Bendir.

Raz is at the forefront of the NYC Academy of Underground DJs, featuring DJ Spooky, DJ Olive, Loop, Lucy, Soulslinger, and WordSound I Powa and is also one half of the influential Dub duo Sub Dub with John Ward. He is also a key founder of Rotor (a collective of composers focusing on the turntable as electronic instrument) with DJ Olive and Toshio Kajiwara. Through his work as a percussionist and composer at such vanguard NYC venues as Tonic, Knitting Factory and the now-defunct Cooler, Raz has increased his visibility as a performance artist and transcended his reputation as a DJ.
