    Palace Troubadour, Debu's acclaimed fifth offering, is a musical feast straight from the Royal Court! This 15-song album reflects Debu's versatility and international appeal, featuring songs in English, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Arabic, Indonesian and Chinese. "DEBU's sound is a heady mix of Middle Eastern strings, thumping drums, flutes, violins, a harp and other Indonesian instruments picked up during the band's travels through this vast archipelago." (AP Jakarta) DEBU PROFILE AND HISTORY DEBU fuses East and West, traditional and contemporary, acoustic and electric. This award-winning world music ensemble is known for playing anything from funk fusion to classical Turkish, then blending these various styles and rhythms to create something new and exciting. DEBU's percussion section consists of Indian, Peruvian, Persian, Arabic, Turkish and Western drums. Add violins, Turkish baglama, oud, Iranian santur, Middle Eastern qanun, acoustic guitar, keyboard and a 6-string bass, and the result is a mini world music orchestra. It is only fitting that this diverse and talented group also sings in nine different languages. DEBU's inspirational multilingual lyrics, written by Shaykh Fattaah, convey the message inherent in the shaykh's Sufi poetry of universal love of the one True Love. Most of DEBU's music is composed by Mustafa Daood, who is also their lead vocalist and arranger. Currently residing in Jakarta, DEBU has topped the charts in Indonesia since the band formed in 2000. DEBU's first album Mabuk Cinta (Drunk with Love), released in 2003, achieved instant success with it's hit single "Cinta Saja," played on MTV Asia daily. The next year, DEBU captured the attention of MTV Asia and worldwide Link TV with "Mazhab Cinta," from their second album Makin Mabuk (Even More Drunk). DEBU soon learned the ropes in the recording studio and decided to build their own studio in Jakarta, where they have produced, mixed and mastered their next five albums. These include three Indonesian albums - Nyawa dan Cinta (The Soul and Love), Gubahan Pecinta (A Travel Guide) and Dianggap Gila (Mad?), a Turkish album entitled Hep Beraber (Let's Say It Together), and their Persian album Soorinaas (A Celebration). Countless performances in a variety of settings, from intimate gatherings to corporate galas, and many television appearances (including several award-winning series featuring DEBU's poetry and music, relief benefits and daily Ramadan specials) have made DEBU famous throughout Indonesia. DEBU's music has attracted global attention - live, through album and digital distribution, and on the internet. DEBU has toured Indonesia, Malaysia (including participation in the renown Rainforest World Music Festival in Borneo), Turkey, Singapore, Iran and Canada. They continue to be invited to events worldwide and are currently working on new releases in English, Spanish, Arabic and Indonesian. 'They have as much fun as Natasha Atlas. They're as suave as Cheb Mami. They're as fresh-faced and sincere as any of the Sami Yusufs and Dawud Wharnsby Alis of the modern Islamic music scene, and they're about to take the Muslim West by storm, a dust storm, in fact. 'DEBU' - which means 'dust' in Malay and Indonesian - has already gone gold in the Archipelago.' Isla Rosser-Owen, Emel Magazine 'The songs DEBU sings - in Indonesian, Turkish, English and Arabic - are mostly about love and peace, and the band members exude goodwill and equanimity. They clearly revel in the opportunity to reach more and more people through their music.' David Kennedy, Jakarta Post 'DEBU's popularity rose quite a few degrees higher at the Rainforest World Music Festival this year, and although many in the audience knew them as stars already, they easily won a large new following.' Randy Raine-Reusch, Artistic Director, Rainforest World Music Festival Music from the heart, to the heart! BAND MEMBERS AND THEIR INSTRUMENTS Kumayl Mustafa Daood Born: July 9, 1981 Place of Birth: Oregon, USA Position: Composer, Arranger, Lead Vocalist, Oud, Glama and Harmonium Mustafa is the musical director and arranger of all of DEBU's music. As he is proficient on many different instruments, it is not uncommon for Mustafa to single-handedly create a demo song in the studio using most of DEBU's pieces. During a live performance, however, he generally plays up to three instruments: Oud: Also known as the lute, this round-bodied instrument is the guitar of the Middle East. It is said to be the grandfather of the guitar. Mustafa uses a Turkish oud, an Egyptian oud and an electric oud that he had custom-made in Indonesia. Glama: This Turkish long-necked lute, also known by some as the saz, is commonly used in central Asia, the Near East and the eastern Mediterranean. Harmonium: Also known as peti or baja, the harmonium is a European instrument that was introduced into India in the 19th century. It is a small organ that has bellows and is pumped by hand through free reeds to produce sound. A lever at the base of the harmonium can adjust it's scale. The keys and their intervals are the same as that of a piano. Muhammad Saleem Born: December 15, 1986 Place of Birth: Oregon, USA Position: Wind Instruments, Vocalist Although Saleem's main role in DEBU is playing wind instruments, he occasionally plays percussive instruments like the Arabian tambourine (riq). Saleem does not limit himself to one specific wind instrument. He has a large collection from around the world. Some of his favorites include: Turkish Ney: This reed flute is one of the most commonly used instruments in Turkish classical music. It has six holes on the top and one on the back, which is covered by the thumb. Sound is produced by blowing on the rim of the ney. Sundanese Flute: This bamboo flute is used in traditional Sundanese music from Indonesia. It's scale is not Western, but rather a traditional Sundanese scale. It has 6 holes and is blown from the top. Fife: Originally found in medieval Europe, this high-pitched flute is held at the side and blown from the top. Like many flutes it uses a standard 6-hole system. Though generally played in a 2-octave range, it can be played up to 3 octaves. Daood Abdullah Born: September 28, 1988 Place of Birth: Texas, USA Position: Drummer and Percussionist Daood mainly plays the darbuka, drumset and cajon. He is, however, proficient on many other percussion instruments like the Persian daf and tombak. Daood is known for his unique playing style. He takes techniques used on various instruments, such as the flutter of the flamenco guitarist, and incorporates them into his playing. The combination of playing the drum set and the handheld darbuka at the same time is another one of his distinctive talents. He has studied music and played percussion with great musicians from around the world like Gilang Ramadan, Tanmoy Bose, Dwiki Darmawan, Sadao Wantanab, Bilen Isiktas, Onur Nar, Yuyun George and Kousik Dutta. Darbuka: Known by many names (such as the dumbek, goblet drum and chalice drum), the darbuka is played in many Middle Eastern countries. It has a thin head that can be made of skin, plastic or even fiberglass. The middle of the head is hit with the hand to produce a low "DUM" sound and the rim is hit for the higher "TEK" sound. Daood uses an Egyptian darbuka, although he favors the Turkish style of playing. Cajon: This Afro-Peruvian percussion instrument is a wooden box with a hole cut out of the back. The player sits on the box and hits the face of it, usually made of plywood, with his hands. Drum Set: This western instrument is a combination of drums and percussive instruments collected and set up around the drummer. It is played using drumsticks and foot pedals. Daood personally prefers to have double foot pedals on his kick drum and he never performs without using his Mapex snare.
