 Rating:  - As a German living in the Middle East I truly appreciate NATASHA ATLAS' music !As a German living in the Middle East - Gulf region: Oman, Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Quatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, ... - I truly do appreciate the music from that area. The rhythm is always mystical and very highly personal. You can feel the instruments and the musical tones which the artist wants you to feel. The musician wants to take you on a trip. They want to take you to a world unlike any other. And in this album, the very popular female singer NATASHA ATLAS manages to do just that. ..... A Portrait: NATACHA ATLAS Natacha Atlas (born March 20, 1964) is a Belgian singer known for her fusion of Arabic and North African music with Western electronic music.

If, however, you're looking for an incredible fusion of North Africa and music from across the world, this is for you.

I got a hint of that but on the whole, it conjures up a middle-eastern teenage pop-princess. The electronic drumbeat finally killed it for me. Great voice - haunting, mysterious, hinting the unknown - but its not raw and its not from the soul. Rating: - lost in Arabian nightsWhat a voice man, what a voice. Conjours all sorts of imagery of desserts and palaces, lost loves. Her album "diaspora" is great too. Those put off by that fact that this is arabic music can go back to their britney spears and spice girls, while us lucky few are transported and transfigured by a voice that reaches out accross time and space Rating: - The Godess Does It Again!dedicated to the great Egyptian singer and musician Abdel Halim Hafez Solo album (1997) Natacha Atlas is born in Belgium on the 20th March 1964 of an English mother and a Jew Egyptian father. She lived during 8 years in the Moroccan suburbs of Brussels where she is immersed in an Arabian and Muslim culture. In 1972, her mother, divorced, took Natacha with her in England...
