Fragile

'Fragile' unfolds as a delicate dialogue between cultures, emotions, and sonic minimalism. Rooted in modern classical composition, it bridges the ancient resonance of the Senegalese xalam with Roei Hermon’s introspective and unconventional piano accompaniment. Hopeful yet melancholic, the piece offers a meditative space where emotion breathes and memory lingers in sound. As the second single from the Small Room in Dakar album, “Fragile” captures the intimate spirit of Ben Aylon’s creative sanctuary in Senegal—a quiet room near the ocean where ambient textures and heartfelt melodies rise gently from silence.
