4.0 out of 5 stars Egyptian Talent, "Lounge" Feel, March 12, 2003

This review is from: Best of Mohammed Abdul Wahab (Audio CD)

This has fun, modern interpretations of Arabic music. But, not everyone appreciates modern interpretations of music. Some modernization of Middle Eastern music makes this easy to listen to. And there are some really wonderful compositions that grace this CD.

Mohammed Abdul-Wahab was trying to blend a bit of Eastern music with Western, to make it a bit more up to date. He had more than 250 songs to his credit before his death, and had very clear talent.

If you like your ethnic music to be "pure," without any modern interpretations, you will probably not care for this. However, if you are not such a stickler, this is a great CD.

I bought this CD primarily because of the first piece "Zeina", which is a piece used in my belly-dance class. I generally like Hossam Ramzy's music, but didn't really feel that way with this CD.
