Souad Massi - Mesk Elil [FLAC] TQMP

Souad Massi - Mesk Elil 2005 BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music, 2006 Winner, Middle East & North Africa. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldmusic/a4wm2006/a4wm_souad.shtml Brought to you by TQMP The Quality Music Project For her third album, which was a strong presence on the European world music charts throughout late 2005, the Algerian-born, Paris-based singer-songwriter has chosen to operate on a much larger scale. Mauritanian vocalist Daby Toure (a star in the making if there ever was one), Pascal Danae, a French-born musician of Caribbean ancestry and the versatile Mino Cinelu on percussion are only a few of the capable artists appearing on the recording. The tunes are a mixed bag, jazzy, sophisticated yet for the most part true to their sources; clearly Massi is trying her wings as a composer. Ilhem ("Inspiration") a percussive gem fronted by chiming plucked strings, is infectiously extroverted and packs a strong West African/Touareg flavor, while Khalouni ("Let Me"), a North African-Iberian confection sung with a wonderful male singer named Rabah Kaifa, gets the blood moving. But the title track, with its limp Brazilian-inspired melody and MOR-like string arrangements, is less effective. Ultimately, although Massi's former one-on-one, almost perilously intimate rapport with the listener seems somewhat refracted these days, her message is as timely as ever. Her sensuous alto voice remains swooningly flexible yet serenely unadulterated, a miracle of confident, sensitive femininity. -- amazon.com Tracks 01- Mesk Elil (Honeysuckle) 02- Kilyoum (Soon) 03- Ilham (Inspiration) 04- Miwana (I Won't Forget My Roots) 05- Dardjedi (My Grandfather's House) 06- Denya Wezmen (That's Life) 07- Tell Me Why 08- Hagda Wala Akter (There's Worse) 09- Khalouni (Let Me) 10- Malou (Why Is My Heart Sad) 11- Mahli Remix 12- Ilham Remix (mino cinelu fast version) 13- Ilham Remix (mino cinelu slow version) Artwork, EAC log and CUE sheet included.
