Nasal..., 2 Jan 2009
By Work of Life - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Songs from Syria (Audio CD)
The instrumentation on this CD is wonderful, but I have to agree with the other reviewer that commented on Al-Jundi's voice. It can best be described as "nasal & droning". I thought that perhaps this is the way traditional Syrian songs are sung and tried to appreciate it for it's authenticity, but alas, the droning quality of the singer's voice doesn't change from song to song and it gets old quickly. Hossam Ramzy arranged the traditional songs and produced the CD. This lends credence and support to Zein Al-Jundi's effort, but the CD just does not have enough variety or vocal sophistication to keep one's interest.

great work from an amazing person, 24 May 2006
By Paul A. Baker "communicator" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Songs from Syria (Audio CD)
zein al-jundi is one of those people who manage to accomplish so much in their lives it makes you wonder whether they have some direct connection to the gods. Her fantastic musicianship is only one aspect of her busy life. I use her songs on my world music program, Caravan, on WSUM 91.7 FM, Madison, Wis.

Unfortunate mutilation of great traditional songs, 14 Dec 2007
By Sam C - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Traditional Songs from Syria (Audio CD)
The musical background is well done but the singer's voice does not do justice to the great traditional songs from the Syrian musical heritage. I wish there were a way to filter out the singer's voice and enjoy the music. I will give away my CD if someone is willing to pay for the shipping.
