Various - North Africa The Middle East

Review by Emeka Ihemeje

North Africa The Middle East is a compilation album featuring various artists from the region. The album is a great representation of the diversity and richness of the music scene in North Africa and the Middle East. The tracks are a mix of traditional and contemporary sounds, with each artist bringing their unique style to the table.

The album starts with the hauntingly beautiful track "Ya Nass" by Yasmine Hamdan, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The rest of the tracks are equally impressive, with standout performances by artists such as Mashrou' Leila, Tamer Abu Ghazaleh, and Amira Kheir.

One of the strengths of this album is the way it seamlessly blends different genres and styles, from the traditional sounds of the oud and qanun to the electronic beats of modern pop music. The result is a cohesive and engaging listening experience that showcases the best of North African and Middle Eastern music.
