3.0 out of 5 stars
3.5 rating, if that were possible...,
By DJ Joe Sixpack (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Brides' Joys & Sorrows: Songs And Ballads Of The Moroccan Jews As Sung By The Women Of Tetuan Morocco (Audio CD)
These ancient tunes, sung a capella by the woman of Tetuan, Morocco, are undeniably authentic, yet probably too stark in their rendering to be of interest outside of devoted cultural historians, and the most diehard listeners. It's cool on a folkloric level, but I couldn't listen to it for very long.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Joys & Sorrows,
This review is from: Brides' Joys & Sorrows: Songs And Ballads Of The Moroccan Jews As Sung By The Women Of Tetuan Morocco (Audio CD)
The songs get progressively more interesting as the CD continues. Some essence of Middle Eastern music is simply and eloquently evoked through the song of a single unaccompanied voice. And in spite of the fact that there is no instrumentation, the flow and logic of the melody seems only to come out that much the stronger. Music is also an expression of the mind, and the songs here arise like somber lotuses from an invisible pond. Sometimes you can hear babies mumbling in the background.
