This CD is excellent. Great to listen to while walking/driving. It's uplifting, it's contemporary and it's fun to listen to. It's modern for middle eastern music.

5 out of 5 stars Recommended from Saad.......2004-03-17

My friend Saad recommended this album to me, and I have come to highly enjoy Ilham's music. This album I think is his best. If you like Middle Eastern music, Ilham is an excillent place to start.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful world music defined.......2004-01-10

WOW. This really is a five-star cd.

Expand your boundaries of music you like by picking this up. Even at the import price, it's well worth it.

This is really beautiful music. At times, it's sort of folky, sort of gipsy, sort of jazzy, sort of world-y. It's great to see all these genres come together.

Ilham's voice is very rich. The Arabic language is very pleasant on the ears for those of us who only speak English.

I can't wait to get some more of his work. Do your collection a favor and pick this one up. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Best Music since 1964!!!!.......2003-08-02

i was sitting in Mr Ilham Al Madfai's concert last week in London,i went there after reading an article about him in the independent newspaper,he played most of this CD songs ,it was out of this world,i am not an Arab but i started searching for arabic music after listening to this album.
i havent really enjoyed my self in a concert since 1964 in a conert for the Beatles in London.....

5 out of 5 stars This is Music.......2003-07-31

i never loved arabic music,till i listened to Ilham Al Madfai,he is out of this world his music is world wide standard mixing western & eastern tunes to make a combination of mood.
i loved his new album Baghdad it is also great,wish that most arabic artists listen and produce same quality as the legend Ilham al Madfai does..
