Their first live album (recorded 2002 in Toronto) is a simply delicious showcase for their blend of Afro/Arabic/Mediterranean traditional/contemporary fusion. This must have been one hell of a show and they are obviously having a great time. Applause, crowd noise, and general enthusiasm add to the energy. One star each track…yowzer! (Applause at start & end of each track).
1. Upbeat folk dance w/heartfelt vocals & great work from band.
2. Sort of an Arabic flamenco thing. Fast w/cool soprano sax.
3. Sexy flamenco tangos. Guitar, claps, vocals, great stuff.
4. Warm & lively tango w/strings/vocals, & other goodness.
5. Fast & fiery flamenco w/an Arabic flair. Yum.
6. Wailing horn, driving beat, vocals and a touch of darkness.
7. Spare, dramatic intro that eventually picks up & gets fluid.
8. A midtempo love song. Nice use of electric base/good vox.
9. Fast & warm, contemporary Arabic flamenco. Sweet.
10. Slow & haunting at first. Blend of drama & lyricism. Nice!
11. Dramatic, wailing vocals link bursts of horns & perc.
12. Romantic and relaxed then sweet, lively, and busy. Yay.
