"Ilham Al Madfai has beautifully produced these Arabic/Iraqi songs/music in a Classical & Modern Style by using a variaty of Western (e.g.Spanish Guitar, Saxophone, etc..) and Eastern Musical instrumentations which have uplifted and added an extra fresh dimension to his Songs. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this wonderful Baghdad CD over and over again. I beleive Al Madfai is Pioneer in his Style of Arabic/Iraqi Music. Do not hesitate to have this CD as part of your collections and I look forward to hearing his future CDs."

"Ilham Al-Madfai is an original. His crossover music seemlessly blends musical genres while remaining faithful to its Arab origin. His voice is rich, soulful and soothing. Listening to Ilham will brighten my darkest days. Highly recommended. For those unfamiliar with Arabic music, I cannot think of a better introduction."
