Synopsis
Amazon.com Named after a mythical North African wind that stirred passion in the hearts of Europeans touched by it, Ziroq offers the same effect through its music. This band of veteran sidemen, led by songwriters Marcus Nand and Carmine Rojas, sweep through various countries, taking on such seductive sounds as pop-oriented flamenco, Gypsy, and Arabic music, while adding exotic Indian flourishes and a few other tasteful odds and ends. The suave Nand sings throughout, proving to be a fine pop vocalist (with lyrics in both Spanish and English) whose sensual rasp isn't too far from that of Peter Gabriel. Also like Gabriel, this quintet incorporates smooth, modern-sounding production that gracefully supports the ethnic elements of the music with a skillful flair that will appeal to fans of various tasteful but technologically savvy fusions of world music. Certainly off to an auspicious beginning, it would seem that the members of Ziroq will spend much of their time focusing on the band in the years to come. --Tad Hendrickson Similar CDs

Ziroq blend the spanish music with pop,latin,also arabic style.The ziroq express how well they play this music.The most vivid and beautiful of this cd is on some tracks,Marcus plays an outstanding guitar music with fury and passion. The adding the arabic music to the flamenco music is a creative job that Ziroq had done.Oh,yeah,the vocal sound of Marcus really are melodious and gypsy syle,and it matches with this music....After all of these,the track the most I love in this Cd, is number 11,NOMADE,..My heart flies when this song plays.Buy this cd, ENJOY IT.....viva ziroq......"
