terrible mistake.......2003-11-07

This CD is NOT "Baila Habibi, Vol.1". If you order this CD, you shall receive "Rhythm Dance compilation vol.2" that has nothing to do with Baila Habibi.

A great CD if you like international music........1999-08-10

The CD was great. The music is upbeat and has a great tempo. Anyone who knows where there is a SAHARA GIRLS webpage please email me. Or if you know if they have a CD.

ARABIC-FLAMENCO MUSIC.......2003-02-25

This is an outstanding example of a "mix" of Spanish flamenco upbeat music, with arabic tunes and instruments, with lirics in Spanish, French, and Arabic. Spain was under Muslim rule for over 7 hundred years, and the music from the Southern part of the peninsula retained a distinct Arabic flavor and rhythm. The French had colonial outposts in some parts of Africa, but their music was not as influenced by the Arabs as the Spanish. Some of these songs are very similar in rhythm to The Gipsy Kings' and Azucar Moreno's, so, if you enjoy their music, you are most likely to better appreciate this CD.

"Baila Habibi" is a high voltage blend of Moorish-Spanish dance music sometimes referred to as "Euro-pop" by those insatiable for it as well as those derisory of it. What makes "Baila Habibi" stand out from the rest of the pack. Is the outlandish remake of the ultra new-wave British band New Orders' classic eighties hit "Blue Monday" into "Cest toi" by Mr. Cool/Maurice and Debra Fortunato. Perhaps less audacious but certainly as interesting are the fresh renditions of old favorites as "Haila" by Moustafa Amar and "Elejigbo" by Los Fernados. The latter can also be heard on the soundtrack to "Wild Orchid' one of the few good things about that movie. Why purchase this or for that matter its sister album "World Beat Zone" when the hip-hop is enthused with flamenco trills and the raping is clumsy at best. Because its unapologetic unpretentious fun. Like all disco music it is guilty appreciated by those who regret the passing of the "Los Lobos" and the "Gibson Brothers"

Baila Habibi, yallah!.......1999-11-19

Is this a "Latin" album or is it Mid-eastern? Well record stores have a hard time labeling it, so you will find Baila Habibi under Latin music and World (Middle-eastern) sections. This compilation truly blends both cultures in a way that sounds natural, and it should. Spain was ruled by the Arabs for more than seven hundred years, so it is natural that there should be affinities between both culture groups. I play the disc constantly and am anxiously awaited Vol II. Khaylee khub hast! Shaat lav e! Que lindo disco!

Hot!.......1999-10-16

Fast, Fun and full of life. I want more
