Album Reviews

Review: 

Oud player Yair Dalal wrote the music from this album as an homage to the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Iraq, which have flown through Mesopotamia, ancient Babylon and today's Iraq, since time immemorial. As a Jewish musician with Iraqi roots, Dalal believes that Jewish and Arabic music owe a lot to each other. "Most of the musicians in the 20th century til the fifties in Iraq were Jews. I mean the Radio Baghdad Orchestra was Jewish people." -- as quoted in BBC's The World
