Classic poetry, superb music
29 April 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris has created a series of recordings of excellent music from the Arabic-speaking world. Nassima Chabane is from Blida, Algeria and draws from both the musical and the mystical roots of that country by arranging songs around the poetry of Andalusian mystics like Abu Madyan and Ibn Arabi whose influence goes far beyond the Maghrib. She also includes lyrics from more modern Algerian mystics including the emir Abd el Kader, shaykh Ahmad Alawi and the current shaykh of the Alawi order Khaled Bentounes. Although the poetry spans from medieval to modern, Nassima's arrangements are contemporary with a pronounced traditional flavor. While it is often difficult to balance these elements, she does so with virtuosity and her voice is full-throated and so evocative that the emotion flows through the language with such effect that one does not need to understand Arabic to enjoy the music. At a time when Islam is under immense scrutiny, this album recalls its cosmopolitan and compassionate roots that are all too often ignored. The most outstanding selections are Ibn Arabi's "Mon Dieu tres Aime" (My Much Beloved God) and a passionate arrangement of shaykh Alawi's "Layla," expressing a deep love for God. A booklet is included with translations of the lyrics into French and English. It is a shame that there is no Arabic text included, but overall this is an outstanding collection.
