5.0 out of 5 stars
like finding a lost classic in your grandmother's attic...,
By Rosscoe (Seattle WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Music Of Arab-Americans (Audio CD)
To quickly address the above reviewer: It's SUPPOSED to sound aged & scratchy, darling! The lo-fi sound only lends to the ambiance. These songs were recorded fifty-plus years ago, which is exactly how they should - and do - sound.
That being said, this CD is wonderful. I gaurantee that you will listen to this amazing music over and over again. If you at all love middle eastern/belly dancing/world music, you must buy this CD. The minimal sounds, haunting lyrics, unique combination of Oriental and English vocals, all combine to transport you to another place, another time. I repeat: if you love middle eastern music, or world music in general, this will become THE "go to" CD in your collection. The garbage blaring over most American radio today cannot hold a candle to this amazingly passionate music.

By A Customer
This review is from: Music Of Arab-Americans (Audio CD)
In my search for middle eastern music, I usually find the horrible disco-pop stuff that makes you think of aggressive, oily men with a lot of bad cologne and exposed chest hair. In this CD, however, you will find exotic, worldy rhythms of the middle east that evoke images of "Oriental" splendor. But you will also notice the sincerity of the artists, marked as much by technical talent as with soul and emotion borne of a longing for home and family. There is a nice mix of instumentals and vocals. A very traditional, pure expression of Arab music.
