Album Description
After recording with jazz greats, traditional Arab musicians, and classical string quartets--as well as writing symphonic orchestral works for the BBC Orchestra and the Ensemble Modern--what would a Lebanese composer do next? Of course he would go to Portugal and record the songs a young fado singer from Lisbon! Rabih Abou-Khalil discovered Ricardo Ribeiro, a young singer from Lisbon who had already established a reputation for himself. He sings Abou-Khalil's compositions as if they were his own, mastering the complicated rhythms and unusual melodic lines with absolute ease. The result is an "imaginary folklore"; a music that sounds new and strange, yet familiar and natural, as if it had always existed. Perhaps it is the missing link between East and West, classical and modern, folklore and art music, deeply rooted in the everywhere and the nowhere.

A few notches down with the vocals November 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a huge fan of Rabih's music and have every one of his CD's. I am very familiar with his style that is filled with humor, technique and fusion elements. Although I didn't find the vocal thing a too big of a stretch as a concept, I have to say that it was a bit too much for me. I would have easily loved the album if it had half the vocal emphasis.
A Vocal Filled CD October 1, 2008

Ricardo Ribeiro dominates all 12 tracks with his vocals in a foreign language (Portuges?)I think the vocals detract from Khalils hypnotic instrumental music found on this and all of his previous cds.In smaller doses the vocals wouldnt be so hard on the ears.This should have been titled as a Ribeiro CD so I knew what I was buying.
