On The Hill

PhoenixTree | Seattle | 04/21/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I love this collection of ballads by Oum Kalthoum. It reads like divine poetry sung by a muezzin. Most of these songs are lovesongs, but the lyrics are beautiful and classic, and her voice is as bright as the cardinal heart bleeding across a canopy of crystalline irises. Her voice weeps with regret and humility...like a bedouin wailing at the stars. The accompaniment accentuates her desert voice in their subtlety, a great partnership."

Great into to her music

"one of the greatest middle eastern singers, mostly ignored by the west. a little hard to get into but when i did, really enjoyed it."
