A good compilation of traditional Syrian music representing classical Arab styles. Featuring Zein Al-Jundi as a lead female singer accompanied by an orchestra including the typical instruments such as oud (the Arab lute-like instrument), qanun (a flat harp-like instrument), nay (a reed flute), violins, percussion and a chorus (of female voices in most songs). Songs are either mid-tempo or a bit faster (3,6,7,9,12,13). All tracks are equally good; Try 4,7,8,12 and 13. Songs end before designated time, with no intermission between them, and often even merge. Prominent tracks: 3) A long orchestral intro leading to a long qanun solo. *4) Slower, enchanting rhythm. 5) Begins with a nice violin solo. *7) A very catchy tune. Central role for the darbukkah (the Arab tablah) *8) Opens with a beautiful oud solo. 9) Opens with the nay and orchestra. Nice qanun solo later. *12) A nice oud solo. *13) Another catchy tune. Starts slow but changes 30 sec into the song. | ||
