5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent variety, January 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hamdulillah: Fes Festival Of World Sacred Music, Vol. II (Audio CD)

This collection represents some of the finest in Islamic music, from the Rif mountains to southeast Asia. The Gamelan selection and the finale from the Whirling Dervishes of Konya alone are worth the price of the set.

5.0 out of 5 stars The world-music CD of the year., November 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Hamdulillah: Fes Festival Of World Sacred Music, Vol. II (Audio CD)

Highlights: The Ensemble Sidi Thami Mdaghri, which contributes a wild, high-energy jam--if you like the Orchestre National de Barbes, check this out. Also, try Amina Alaoui and Francoise Atlan, two singers with beautiful, flexible voices and loads of imagination. A must-buy.
