A BEAUTIFUL VOICE SINGING MAGNECTIC LYRICS
nimue3021 | Houston, Texas ...Born in the U.S.A.!!! | 06/12/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"... I have always been a lover of so many different types of music, but the drums and beats of Caribbean Music and the guitar strummings of Flamenco have always brought me the most joy. Quite by accident, I came upon a duet between Alabina and the Gipsy Kings, a favorite of mine. I was hooked from that very moment on, and downloaded everything I could find having the slightest reference to Alabina. It wasn't until I made a friend in a fellow intern that had just returned from her study abroad in France (where they ruled the charts at the time) that I discovered Ishtar herself had a solo effort....and what an effort it turn out to be...
Every song moves you, whether in inspiration to weep or dance. The listener doesn't even have to be fluent in French or Arabic in order to be able to understand the beauty of her lyrics and the power of the voice singing them. She is not just a poster face for a band of greater talent. She is the real deal. You don't need to appreciate her face to know and feel her music. With just one listen, you will be hooked as well."
SEDUCTIVE ARABIC-SPANISH MUSIC
nimue3021 | 04/28/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is my first Ishtar CD Album and I heard her voice from her Alabina group. I have been listening to the Alabina music and I really enjoyed the music, the difference in the compilation, the mix of Arabic and Spanish beats and rhythms. Makes for good dancing music. Even the slow ballad numbers are also very good - makes you sway and day-dream of romantic stroll on sunset beaches. Though I don't understand the meaning of the lyrics (I don't speak French, Spanish or Arabic) but I love the sound of the language."
Mystically Sensual
Joey C. Octaviano | New York, NY | 08/19/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"La Voix D'alabina is an albun for the world. Alabina's vocal range combined with the beautiful instrumentalism of the band Ishtar is worth the purchase of this import. In this recording, there is a fine range between the up beat discoteque tracks and the sensual mystique of the ballads. The music goes from romantic to menacing.



Admittedly, I am not proficient in Spanish, nor do I yet speak Arabic. I have to agree with another reviewer, unquote, "that the music speaks for itself."



I wish more of this music could be played in the U.S. I only found out about this album while shopping at an International Bookstore in Manhattan."
