No violins, thanks goodness. The minimalism in the instruments serves only to accentuate the skill of the performers. Massano Tazi is a treasure. The first track contains many alternations of instrumental pieces and vocals, but it really must be heard as one piece. Thanks to Ocora for not cutting it up.
Sound quality is excellent.
Musique Arabo-Andalouse de Fes Ensemble Masano Tazzi. Sound quality is excellent. Amin Mesli is a young chap from Algeria doing excellent work. See volume 3 below. This is a superb collection put out by Ocora Radio France, distributed by Harmonia Mundi.
