Desert Roses and Arabian Rythms

Description

If you liked Desert Rose by Sting and Cheb Mami, then you’ll love this vibrant collection. Soaring melodies and pulsing rhythms, the romance of the voice, the sound of the Maghreb and the Middle East pulls like a siren. From the Rai music that’s the soundtrack of Algeria to the modern Egyptian street pop called sha’bi or the rich tones of the oud, it’s the sound that evokes centuries of Arab history and culture while eagerly embracing the new millennium. This album will take you across the sand, through the crowded souks and the streets of the old cities, to where tomorrow waits. This is where North Africa meets the world.
