4 out of 5 stars A lighter, danceable recording.......2006-07-15

Having more familiarity with the classical instrumental music of Afghanistan performed by soloists, I must reply on comparison with the successful CD, Radio Kabul, for large ensemble music. That recording is some 20 minutes longer and encompasses a variety of musical forms, both darker and more subdued classical instrumentas and joyous popular songs, and the musicianship is very fine. In this CD, Zohreh Jooya's voice is remarkably smooth and lovely, and Hamid Golestani's excellent baritone is a nice contrast in the series of tracks. The overall recording of songs, including ghazals and qawwalis, is light and spirited and more uniform in tone. It is happy and sometimes danceable. There is perhaps too much harmonium, but the rubab and various drums support the ensemble well. My actual rating is 4.5 stars.
