About
Karim Saber celebrates the release of his second album “Sundance”
“Sundance” is the second offering from Guitarist, Composer and Bandleader Karim Saber. Recorded in January 2025 it captures the creative period since the release of his debut album “Transmission” (Ubuntu Music, 2024). “Sundance” retains the same personnel as “Transmission”, with Aitzi Cofre Real contributing her vocal talents to three of the pieces. Whilst the combination of fiery improvisation with memorable melodic content continues to inspire, Sundance draws on a wider palette of influences, with its expansive narrative arc signifying a great step in the evolution of this young artist.
This concert takes place one day before the albums worldwide release.
