This review is from: Music of Morocco: In the Rif Berber Tradition-Zri (Audio CD)

The music here, while traditionally based, has got some very contempoarry production values attached to it. This doesn't have the distance of older, more earthy recordings of similar music; it's very clean, sharp and upfront.

The songs themselves are a great capturing of a tradition, but it wasn't wholly my style. If you're looking for the accessibility of, say, "Kama Sutra" or the earthy tone of "Gift of the Gnawa", you'll find hints of it, but not quite the whole kick-back flavor you know. For peopel heavy into world music - especially Moroccan music - already.
