Alhajas arábigas
Arabic jewels

Nos engalanamos con esplendentes joyas musicales arábigas, algunas recién talladas, como la música del proyecto cairota The Handover, y otras engarzadas en los surcos de clásicas grabaciones que vuelven a ver la luz, como un brillante directo de la gran cantora Warda, entre otras alhajas sonoras brindadas por sellos como Wewantsounds, Sublime Frequencies o Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.

We adorn ourselves with splendid Arabic musical jewels, some newly crafted, like the music of the Cairo-based project The Handover, and others set into the grooves of classic recordings brought back to light, such as a brilliant live performance by the great singer Warda, among other sonic gems offered by labels such as Wewantsounds, Sublime Frequencies and Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.
