5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD Mar 18 2003
By Stephen Taylor
Format:Audio CD
I was already a big fan of Rough Guides' excellent travel books when I bought this CD, and I'll definitely buy some more discs in this series. Like any good travel guide, the musical Rough Guides offer a broad overlook of a country or region's musical tradition instead of focusing on the "touristy" stuff (so-called "authentic" music -- yeah...). The "Rough Guide to the Music of North Africa" delves into the exciting rhythyms and harmonies of Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and Sudan, giving selections from both traditional and contemporary music, with the emphasis is on the modern.

Just like on any trip you'll run into some places you don't like, some tracks on this CD are just plain uninspiring, but hey, it's all a matter of taste anyway and overall this is a great disc. The best selections are the energetic music from Sudan (tracks 5 & 6) -- Abdel Aziz El Mubarak's "Tahrimni Minnak" and the gallopin "Dannab" by Abdel Karim El Kabli. Mahmoud Fadl's "Maqsoum" (from Egypt) has a traditional, almost Sufi-like feel to it, whereas the selections from Algeria (Cheb Kader and Cheb Mami) are pure pop. The best tracks blend traditional and contemporary styles.

This definitely isn't a dry old ethnographic collection, so you don't have to worry about any scratchy stuff from the 1920s! 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful caravan of music! Jun 21 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
After receiving the Rough Guide to World Music book as a present, I was anxious to expore their recorded works. Of them all, this is my favorite, a journey from trance music, to the influences by or from the Indian subcontinent. This is a great introduction to the varied styles, with contemporary examples. As the Rough Guide cd's are somewhat ecclectic in their variety, this is either a great place to start your journey in this music, or a excellent way to expand your tastes. You may not like everything on the cd, at least at first, but it will open a whole new world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful caravan of music Jun 21 2000
By Terry
Format:Audio CD
After a Christmas present of the Rough Guide to World Music book, I was impressed with their printed product. The cd is equally impresssive, as it takes you on a great caravan of North Africa, with a survey encompassing the mystic drone of Morocco and Algeria, to the Indian type music. A great survey, easy to lose yourself in, if this type of music is for you. If you are not familiar with this music, try this cd. You may not like everything, as the Rough Guide thankfully does not play things safe, and can put together an ecclectic, and admirable, cd.
