3 out of 5 stars Traditional.......2005-02-13

"Nafas" was recorded in Oslo in February of 1988. Rabih Abou-Khalil relies more on rhythms then he did on his prior release "Between Dusk And Dawn". In addition, this album is much more traditional, and lacks the improvisation of the previous release. For me, this wasn't quite up to the level of his prior work, but it is still worthwhile. "Window" and "Incantation" are my two favorite tracks.

On "Nafas" the musicians are: Rabih Abou-Khalil (oud), Selim Kusur (nay, voice), Glen Velez (frame drums), and Setrak Sarkissian (darabukka).

5 out of 5 stars Good music.......2002-07-14

Hey, it's Rabih Abou-Khalil, what can I say? If you like him you'll love this album, if you don't you won't, but he cannot be compared to anyone else for better or worse. He is unique, and that is a rarity in today's music world.
