5 out of 5 stars Alabina - L'Essentiel.......2007-03-20

I was put on a waiting list for three months to order this item. But the wait was worth it. This CD is so hot, I was checking to see if my CD player would burn up! I found myself clapping, dancing and moving to it constantly - I couldn't sit down while listening to it! If you ever want to have a party, or even party by yourself, this CD will keep you entertained for hours. It is by far one of the best dance CDs I have ever heard.

4 out of 5 stars Great, but strong accent!.......2006-06-23

I lovelovelovelovelove Alabina. The only thing is that Ishtar has a very bad Arabic accent. I'm Lebanese and I know all the originals for these songs, and I can tell she is prononcing her words wrong. Still, it is veryvery good and i love that Ishtar sings in so many languages. Alabina is wonderful.

5 out of 5 stars The very best.......2005-06-10

This album is my all time favorite!! Alabina is a fantastic Arab fusion cd with no comparison in sight!!

5 out of 5 stars Perfect combination between gypsy and arab style.......2002-08-10

Eti Zach ("Ishtar") and "Los Ni??os de Sara" perhaps are the best flamenco group at the moment, sustaining with the inclusion of the Middle East. To speak of "Alabina" is to speak the fantasy, forces and enchantment. Ishtar, their female vocalist, is a great israeli singer, able to sing wonderfully in many languages. Personally I fascinate myself when I hear "Eshebo (Chebba)", a very sensual song, and "Shir Hakeshet (Rainbow Song)", the hebrew version of the "Aranjuez Concert". Wonderful melodys like "Salma Ya Salama" of Dalida, and "Lolole (Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood)" (spanish and english) of Santa Esmeralda are excellent remixes of the clasical arabic and flamenco pop music. "Ya Mama Ya Mama" (complety in spanish), "Choukrane", "Vengan, Vengan" and the contagious "Baila Maria" put seal to in the hispanic/arabic style of Alabina. But if there are a song with I vibrate, that is "Alabina", THE SONG of this album, a perfect mixes between gypsy spanish with arabic.

Alabina is the new landmark that born in this century in the pop music, and they unite their name to Ofra Haza, Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Amr Diab, Hakim, Tarkan, Cheb Mami, Mustafa Al Amar, Natacha Atlas, Assi Al Hillani, Ibrahim Tatlises and many others, in the sky of world music divos.

5 out of 5 stars Alabina.......2002-03-05
