This is Lebanese singer Mike Massy’s second CD and here he is joined by Marcel Khalife’s nephews Sary and Ayad. This is a departure from his first CD in that it is in classical Arabic and weaves old musical traditions from the East and the West in new, innovative ways. Naseej refers to a woven work. 1. Ya Mijana – Traditional Mawwal folkloric chant weaved in a new way. 2. Rouhmak Ya Allah – Prayer to God, mixing Christian and Muslim chants with Baroque music. 3. Gharabat Choumous Al Talaki – Medieval song with falsetto voice mixed with strings. Based on poem by Al-Musawi. 4. **Ya Nassim Al Rih – Poem by Sufi poet Al Hallaj, remade as a ballad. 5. Safar – Instrumental track; upbeat. 6. **Ajibtou Minka Wa Minni – Grand duet with Fadia Tomb El-Hage. 7. Lawhat Al Ors – Traditional wedding chants resurrected and woven into a rich musical tapestry. 8. Naseej – Instrumental; Virtuosity; no lyrics but amazing vocal acrobatics. 9. Salat Taghour – Philosophical poem, made up of one verse “Oh Lord if you grace me with me with wealth, don’t take away my happiness..” 10. **Ya Nassim Al Rih (Unplugged) – Different version of track 4 above. **Best tracks 4, 6, 10 | ||
