Album Review
Decca
Reviewed 2007-02-15
This orchestra celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2005, here the music focuses on the tarab: swirling orchestral music with an Arabic sound (and a bit of India thrown in). Fiddles, perc, strings, flutes, and vocals, both male & female, solo and chorus.

*1. Midtempo w/male vox, chorus & cool strings. A good sample.
2. Slowish, romantic w/fem vox. At 6:30 get midtempo.
3. Midtempo, smooth male vox. Cool instrumental bits at 4:30..
4. Elegant, lyrical orchestration, warbling male vox. Mid/downtempo.
*5. Sweet, relaxed instrumental; almost an Arabic café sound.
6. Sweeping orchestration, male vox/chorus. Midtempo, lush.
*7. A relaxed love song that sounds vaguely ike an Arabic cha cha.
8. Rich, relaxed love song w/male vox. Slows down a bit later.
