4.0 out of 5 stars Patience has its rewards, May 3, 2001

By	Umar A. Hassan (Marina del Rey, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is an amazing CD. Initially, I was disappointed because the drumming at the outset seemed tedious. But waiting paid off! The drumming increased in its rhythmic complexity and beauty as the CD went on to its conclusion. One should understand the context of the playing so I strongly suggest reading the liner notes. I would love to attend such a meeting of master musicians heightened by the spiritual context. This Cd would appeal more to those interested in the religion of Islam and its cultural manifestations. Brilliant music. They could have telescoped the beginning minutes down quite a bit. Then I would have given it 5 stars.

Any one interested in Sacred music from Morocco should listen to this CD, it's not a dancing CD but a religious one, I like the drumming it's great and this CD is not for everyone, except those who understand the people and the religion.
