PartagerÀ propos de ce produit
Randa's most recent CD I Belong is a refreshing bouquet of world music, nostalgic hits and all time favorites. This is a unique release, for it contains a multicolored rainbow of songs and compositions rarely compiled into one single album. And this compilation explains the rich cultural and musical background of Randa Ghossoub. "Volare" is here, and Peggy Lee's immortal hit Johnny Guitar , theme song of the motion picture Johnny Guitar, starring Joan Crawford. Add to this eclectic choice, traditional and musical treasures such as Bint El Chalabiah first sang in towns and cities in Lebanon around 1945 and made famous by Feyrouz, Marie Ataya and the Rahbany dynasty.
Randa's voice is sweet, elegant, romantic and sensual. You could add as well, intelligent and engaging, for she sings in French, English and Arabic. The music is superb, the arrangements rich and exquisite. Solo passages on the accordion, piano and trumpet are magnificent.
For those who love world music enrobed with vivacious tempo, rich melodies, romantic flair on the edge of Gipsy Kings, 1001 Arabian Nights and the aroma of Parisian chanson, I Belong is a perfect choice. This is a well crafted and superbly delivered CD.
