Title: If u love rai, you'll probably hate this...
Product review: I was really excited when I found this CD beacuse it is sung in berber language, however Djur's voice is really high, childlike, almost falsetto and is not to my taste. It sounds like a cross between Venetian choir boys and the Bee Gees..i can't really articulate it, but my mother and i have never heard anything like it in our lives. Having said that her voice is very sweet but it's not a sound that appeals to me. I was expecting typical Maghreb sounds, good rhythms, hand-clapping,wailing...but appart from a brief burst of ululating on the 2nd track (I think it was the 2nd) it did nothing for me. Me, I am a die-hard rai fan and also listen to lots of arabic "pop" music, shaabi sounds etc so for those with similar tastes, I'd say stick with Khaled. This album sounded like nothing I've ever heard in North Africa and if your looking for the traditional sounds, this album is not it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
