Arabic Groove

I heard this in a retail store first and resisted buying to get it from amazon...love it. and everyone wants a copy....lol.

I really like this CD. The music features popular (mid 2000s) artists from various Arab countries. I think it's a good sampling. I really like music with a fast beat and a lot of energy and this album has that.

Bought this CD for a party, and I really enjoyed it. I listen to it in my car a lot, great dance music, much of it is really lovely and catchy, and the arab singing style on most of these tracks is pretty low-key --- not too intense for western ears. Nice too, for checking out different artists, to see which ones you would like to hear more of. Definitely recommend it!

The first song sounded really cool, so I ordered the album. It's average, at best. Also to note: It is NOT a kids' album. I mistook it for Putumayo Kids, but that's my fault. I wish they would make an Arabic album along the lines of World Playground or French Playground!

Middle Eastern music at it's best. I am quite satisfied with this purchase. As a matter of fact I purchased an additional one for a friend. Putmayo is the best.
