4.0 out of 5 stars If you like Ofra Haza..., November 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Desert Speaks (Audio CD)
In the tradition of Ofra Haza's Yemenite Songs, Yosefa Ha'Dari's work follows, but with a more modern twist. Imagine that a Yemeni had spent some time in Lebanese and German clubs, then come home with the technosound still ringing in her ears... that's this album.

If you're a fan of Arabic music, but can do without the wailing repetitiveness, buy this album. I've loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, March 22, 2001
This review is from: Desert Speaks (Audio CD)
Yosefa's The Desert Speaks....I've had this CD for several years now, and I still love it. Yosefa uniquely blends several ethnicities of music together. You can definitely hear each influence--Israeli, Yemenite and Moroccan. I have used two of her songs for Rope and Trapeze routines.

Her other CD (from 1993) was not worth the purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars I am still listening after two years, September 20, 2002
By 
Beth Cohen (Arlington, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Desert Speaks (Audio CD)
I bought this album after I had a complete collection of Ofra Haza and I knew that sadly there are no more coming. Although she is a bit more commercial then Haza on her later albums, I listen to this album often. The title cut, The Desert Speaks is particularly good. Her voice may not be as strong as Haza's, but her music stands the test of time for me. The album is a good blend of the mideastern rhythms and Yosepha has a soaring voice.
