Hanaan And Her Ensemble - Music Of Arabia (1971)

Hanaan And Her Ensemble - Music Of Arabia

   This is the real deal kids!   Traditional Arabic music with the spectacular voice of Hanaan and the backing support of a great band.   Hanaan's voice is enchanting and nicely controlled.  The support band include 2 violins, zither, drums and tambourine.  

  The vinyl music of the Middle East from the late 60's and early 70's has become very collectible and is a favourite amongst the psych crowd !    I was in a record store a few months ago and some guy came in and asked if they carried any Turkish or Middle Eastern psychy music....i had to laugh!

  Audiophiles also love these older original pressings as they often have superb sound and tone quality as is the  case with this recording.     The album has a shout out and requests that you listen in RIAA format.......i had to look that one up kids !
