Home of Arab and Jewish tribes. Melting pot of these cultures.<br /><br />YATHRIB - These are Jews, Muslims and Christians, who together create a sound experience, a music, completely at ease and far removed from any issues of faith or differences&nbsp; who will surely remain unparalleled for a long time to come.<br /><br /><br /><br />With all the technical polish, musical virtuosity, compositional extravagance and finesse of the arrangements, MICHEL SAJRAWY&rsquo;S YATHRIB never lacks that special something that lets music become a permanent impression: Soul!<br /><br />Very, very carefully and yet powerfully, guitar and oud approach a sensitive topic without getting tied down in sentimentality... This cd kidnaps, seduces, and plays. <br /><br />YATHRIB is electrifying and saturated with vibrating emotion, full to the brim with life!Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:52:13 -0500http://michelsajrawy.calabashmusic.com/#album_93895
