A good introduction to the variety of music coming from the Arab world, with special attention paid to the oud. It’s a nice selection of sounds and styles and could make fans out of those who’ve never been exposed to Arabic music. *1. Sweet, too short. A nice mid-tempo folk song. 2. Transglobal techno groove w/Atlas’s orgasmic vocals. 3. Interesting electro-gnawa w/male vocals. *4. Very cool uptempo violin/oud/percussion jam. 5. Layers of percussion, female vocals, strings. Mid-tempo. 6. “The Boy George of Rai.” The techno buzz is distracting. *7. Uptempo strings/perc/flute. Great oud playing, almost jazzy 8. Vocals/oud/perc. Nicely melodic.. *9. A catchy, mid-tempo blend of oud/vocals/perc. 10. A brassy, bouncy, band & male vox/chorus. *11. Oud played Flamenco style. Unusual. 12. Female vocals, live audience sound. Just OK. 12/2003 | ||
