4.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up to Egypts No.1 Folk singer!, Oct 7 2003

By	Ismail Elshareef "Ismail Elshareef" (West Hollywood, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hakim's Mawaweels (ardent fluctuating vocal and ambient instrumental improvisations expressing intense longing and desire) are bound to make the hair on your arms rise. He is one of a kind with his traditional, folk style music. His uniqueness is what enables him to reach international audiences of different tongues and musical cultures.

Hakim's music is the kind of music you hear at most bus stops and cabs in Egypt. His lyrics reflect people's state of mind while his music is typical folk. Other artists (i.e. Amr Diab, Mostafa Amar ... etc) are considered very Westernized in comparison to Hakim, who very much sticks to traditional style and instruments.

Talakik is a great dance album (belly dancers' wet dream.) It will delight you with its very traditional (few Westernized) music and rich vocals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific introduction to this artist, Sep 5 2002

By	Howard Roark "Kumar" (Salt Lake City, UT, USA) - See all my reviews

I am relative newcomer to Arabic music. I liked Putumayo's
"Arabic Groove" at lot, and while I was searching Amazon for
some of the names that I found in that CD, Amazon suggested
this artist to me. I bought this CD and have been quite happy
with it. Hakim's style of music is different from, say,
Amr Diab's or Khaled's (what I've heard so far), so it took
me a couple of listens for me to warm up to Hakim, but now
I'm hooked.

Hakim has a truly beautiful voice, and nothing captures it
as well as the track, "yamaaya", which sounds like a muezzin's
call to prayer set to dance music. "Halla halla" is my favorite
on this album, a VERY catchy number and, strangely, very
soothing at the same time. Just hearing those two
numbers was worth buying this CD for me. The title track is
also very good, and "El salaam aleikum" is a nice, vigorous
number.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensational, Aug 30 2002

By	Amanda (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

To anyone who likes arabee music this is the CD for you. Also it includes a Spanish side too, so for you salsa people you will enjoy this. For those who are familiar with Hakim, he has done an outstanding performance with this CD. I highly recommmend it. Yallah, listen to it and see. Have fun!
