Customer Reviews:

One of the BEST Chillout & Bossa Nova CD's EVER.......2006-04-12

I admit my expectations were low. A Arabic/Lebanese chillout CD with two nomads on the cover did not seem to promise much.

At best, it might've been some exotic new agey tracks that had some Arabic/Middle Eastern sounds and instruments thrown in there to pander to us ... or worse, it was just some Arabic/Middle Easthern music made bland and 'soft' for us 'outsiders.'

How wrong I was. This is one of the BEST chillout bossa nova CD's of the past few years. It is outstanding through and through! Lebanon seems a far off distance from Brazil but clearly, the pulse of bossa nova runs through LEMONADA. The music is worthy of the great Brazilian bossa nova artists of yore and the vocals are sexy, breathy, and perfect. It is the perfect exotic antidote to your cold dreary snowbound/rainout weather outside.

My only complaint is the CD cover should be better and it's not a double CD :-) This CD is not leaving my player.

Brilliant!

A WONDREFUL ALBUM.......2004-12-16

A fresh take on Arabic music! I loved it...poetic lyrics, a wonderful feel, very sensitive!!! I highly recommend it.
The name of the Album has been misspelled. It's 'Lemonada: Arabian LATIN Chillout experience'.
Enjoy :)

Lemonada-the best Arabian Latin chillout album-ever!.......2004-12-16

WOW! fantastic vibe, amazing compositions, authentic beats and richly textured soundscapes...
i don't really understand the lyrics, but they seem to transcend translation..
it's a great way to wind down and lose yourself on a beach somewhere between lebanon and brazil..

highly recommended, a must have...
