Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Alcantara - a Soldier's view.......2007-02-26

She makes Arabic beautiful, but she also sings in Spanish and French. I would love to see her in concert - she is truly a bridge.

5 out of 5 stars Voice like a waterfall.......2004-03-23

Her voice is supple and rippling, you want to let it wash over you like a waterfall. Her improvisations are stunning.

3 out of 5 stars Could have been better........1999-07-30

After her Gharnati cd (Ethnic, 6806), Alaoui's Alcantara came as a disappointment. This one suffers from poor material selection and poor instrumental support. Nevertheless, this cd has its good moments, such as the last track. For those starting to listen to Andalusi music, the Gharnati cd is a better choice.

5 out of 5 stars Dazzling virtuosity.......1999-04-16

The clarity of Alaoui's voice is profound. Be careful when listening to the hauntingly beautiful 'Istikhbar Zidane'--it will stay in your head for weeks.

1 out of 5 stars Too slow moving!.......1999-01-31

I could not get into this slow moving music. There was something missing - not enough of the rhythmic percussive beat which is so needed to get this cd going.
