Typically solid Putumayo compilation featuring stripped-down arrangement and a relaxed vibe. Performances strong throughout and every track is a small delight in its own way. Play it all! 1. Relaxed, fluid, jazzy w/great guitar & male vocals. 2. A touch of café a hint of the desert. Rich fem vox, mid & stylish. 3. Mid/up w/playful sax & great fem vox. A North African sound. 4. Sophisticated instrumental blend of jazz & Arabic folk, mostly mid. 5. Starts slow, picks up into a bluesy/Rai/ midtemo blend. 6. Slow strings into midtempo Parisian/Arabic folk w/fem vox. 7. Delicious guitar, slow, then mid w/light perc & male vocals. 8. Droning flute, then mid/upbeat w/cool perc & male vocals. Cool. 9. Wonderful piano, slow & sophisticated Latin-touched jazz. Yum! 10. Piano, lush fem vox down/mid, a romantic ballad. Lovely. | ||
