5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic!, November 15, 1999

This review is from: Zaghareed: Music From The Palestinian Holy Land (Audio CD)

The Funun is an incredibly dance and music group, as well as an amazing bunch of people. Their music is an exactly portrayal of traditional Palestinian music without the synthesized sound so common these days. This is a great CD, highly recommended to anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Conserving Traditional Palestinian Folk Music, May 10, 2002

This review is from: Zaghareed: Music From The Palestinian Holy Land (Audio CD)

I have owned the 'Zaghareed' compact disc now for well over one year, and have been allowing its enchanted calls to enter my heart daily. As a Palestinian-American, I have found very little literature, video, and audio on the specific category of things-Palestinian. It was like a breath of fresh air blew into my soul as I stumbled upon this excellent production and recording of traditional Palestinian folk music. This is the music of the people of Palestine. I have always hoped that someone somewhere would devote much time and energy towards preserving and capturing---on the record---the unique dress, dance, and music of the still traditional people who call themselves Palestinians. This wonderful cd has done just that, and has further satisfied the thirst of this spirit in reclaiming a bit of its Palestinian heritage. Good listening to all who care about preserving the sounds of tradition wherever they may still exist.

5.0 out of 5 stars I saw this performed in Palestine!, April 7, 1999

When you see the musicians playing the instruments and the dancers acting out the songs it just makes you come to life and want to dance. The performance they put on at the Annual Palestinian International Festival gives you an exact insight on Arabic culture weddings and the MUSIC expresses how happy everyone is and shares the closeness of family and friends in the culture's traditions.
