Souvenance is the first double album by Tunisian oud player Anouar Brahem, recorded in May 2014 and released on ECM a few months later on November 28.^[2]

Composition

The album was written during the Arab Spring in Tunisia, Brahem says about this that "I had to wait for the pressure to fall, before I could resume work." and that "I don’t claim a direct link between my compositions and the events that have taken place in Tunisia [...] but I was deeply affected by them."^[2]
