Traditional music played on traditional instruments. Great stuff. Vocals, oud, flute, strings, and lots of great percussion. There’s a great similarity in sound to all tracks, but since it’s all good that’s not really a problem.

*1. Lively perc/vox/flute that gets even livelier. Great sound.
2. Upbeat strings/vocals/percussion. Bright, warm & joyous.
3. Nice showcase for the strings. Midtempo vox/perc.
*4. Instrumental of varying tempos, takes you on a nice journey.
5. Midtempo love song. Nicely lyrical.
*6. Nice intro, wailing fem vox/perc/strings/chorus. Mostly mid.
7. Rather stately blend of voices/perc. Relaxed but catchy.
*8. Nicely lively love song.
9. Mostly midtempo w/nice blend of boices.
10. Uptempo & happy wedding dance.
