CD album.
Nära nyskick. CD, NATCD 1087 (1997 / 1997). Belgiskfödda sångerskan Natacha Atlas väver ihop nordafrikansk och arabisk musik med moderna musikriktningar. Texterna finns sammanfattade på engelska i häftet."Atlas' second solo record....continues in her vein of excellent Arabic singing combined with a wide variety of musical traditions, modern and ancient.....Atlas again creates an intoxicating series of love songs, all sung in Arabic but with lyrical snippets printed in English. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the most technological and dancefloor-friendly numbers are done with the Transglobal crowd, who work on about half the album's tracks. "Moustahil" and "Amulet" both feature shuffling dance beats and loops along with a number of performers on such instruments as oud and dharabuka, plus energetic backing vocals from duo Sawt El Atlas....No matter who's working with her performing what, though, it's Atlas' show all the way, her singing shimmering out with all the beauty one could ever want in a vocalist."
