BBC music reviewer selects best Arabic music 2000-2004.......2004-07-05

This is a compilation by Sam Farah, music reviewer on BBC radio Arabic service. His weekly show "The Jukebox" plays the best new music from the Arab world. This CD contains the 16 songs Farah picked as the best (so far) of the 21st century. They were all hits somewhere--Lebanon or Egypt or Saudi Arabia... A GREAT selection. All the songs are in Arabic, but this is top-40 stuff--very accessible to people who are new to Arab music. The only flaw of this CD is that it does not include printed lyrics. Overall: EXCELLENT!
