Unbelievable...This record showcases Hakim. I had the opportunity to see him live in concert last night as well. His band is a well-oiled machine of rhythm and soul that translates to any genre. His voice soars in the tradition of American soul artists like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke, but the genre is distinctly Sha'bi. Combine this with the likes of a "Sha'bi meets...

Hakim is simply amazing. He is a strong performer with a true gift. But, however much I like Hakim, his performance in this album was not as strong as I would have hoped. Listening to the live recording is a bit depressing actually. In terms of artistry, Hakim deserves a full five stars, but the harsh and repetitive sounds of this recording wear on the ears, making it difficult to listen to and causing it to lose two stars in the process. For a novice to the genre who appreciates a cleaner, stronger, and less strident sound, one of his other records might be best to start with. For a true fan of Hakim and Arabic music who is able to look beyond the flaws and truly appreciate the artistry of the music, this is a must-have.

His voice soars in the tradition of American soul artists like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke, but the genre is distinctly Sha'bi. Combine this with the likes of a "Sha'bi meets James Brown" flawless groove that makes you want to dance like crazy, and you have an idea of what this musical experience will do to you! 10 stars!
