4.0 out of 5 stars mysterious and dreamy, April 30, 1999

By	Graham "Graham" (London) - See all my reviews

Overall an excellent cd for those seeking mysterious dreamy, middle eastern music. Unfortunately, there are two duff vocal tracks. But you can skip those!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Must Get this C.D., January 18, 2001

By A Customer

This outstanding C.D. begins with a haunting intro that develops into an entire world of beautiful colors and interesting grooves that weave throughout these extraordinary compositions. Timbres of percussion, sitar, strings, vocals and the soloistic mastery of Sultan Khan on Sarangi heighten the listeners senses. The tune Sol Azul tells a beautiful story and is accompanied by clear and pure vocals which shows Nana's versatility as an arranger and vocalist. Nana's use of many different instruments and musicians from around the globe bring a fresh and new sound that deserves worldwide recognition.
