6moons.com - world music: Natasha Atlas 'Ana Hina' World Village Harmonia Muni If you've wondered what world music diva Natacha Atlas would sound like unplugged from her customary electrified shaabi and plugged instead into an all-acoustic milieu, Ana Hina answers that question with multiple phat exclamation marks. The opening Fairuz tune 'Ya Laure Habouki' penned by the Rahbani Bros. Is set to swampy string orchestra to whisk us straight back into Hercule Poroit's Egypt of the Orient Express. And what a happy time travel it is.

Psd Restaurant Menu there. Torent Railworks Csx Mega Pack. 2008 release recorded with the Mazeeka Ensemble, Ana Hina is new direction for Middle Eastern music icon and singing sensation Natacha Atlas. The album finds Natacha. Natacha Atlas is that rare, paradoxical thing: an authentic product of multiculturalism. 'Authentic' may not be an immediately praiseworthy description in the context.

'Bey Ou Benak Eih' goes back to the 1950's flick Maweed Gharam and is similarly lovely in an old-fashioned way. The hip-swaying title tune runs a sinuous accordion against a bouncy rhythm and mixes in a plaintive Ney flute. 'La Shou El Haki' returns us to the proven Rahbani/Fairuz recipe, with saucy strings, flitty flutes and a gentle belly-dance rhythm. And so it continues as we follow this album down the Nile into nubile Nubia, with unexpected sightings of an apparently Scottish tune done to piano and strings like a sad 'Nature Boy'; and Mexican lyrics from Frida Kahlo's diary on 'La Vida Callada'; and the 'Hayati Inta Reprise' done up over a Mingus groove and Gamal Al Kordy's accordion suggesting faint Bayou flavors.
