I want to comment on the song "Baba L'Rouami" which uses percussion voice, and some plucked instrument which could be similar to a bass (?) .The song is very tribal sounding: drums, singing with lots of feeling by lots of men... Listening to the song it is mistakable for African-Saharan tribal music. I think that the reasons this song would be classified under "arabic music" is because the music is by the Gnawa, a religious organization from Morocco and also, I think that the "Taqasim", the improvising of the plucked instrument at the beginning, is similar to that in other songs (such as Habibi Dyali). Ethnically and a little bit stylistically this song can be considered "arab". | I want to comment on the song "Baba L'Rouami" which uses percussion voice, and some plucked instrument which could be similar to a bass (?) .The song is very tribal sounding: drums, singing with lots of feeling by lots of men...

I want to comment about the sound of the piece "Al Zagareed" My first impression was that is was movie music...(is it?) It sounds like sweeping dramatic music from a black and white film. But it definitely has characteristics of arab music in it, the instrumentation for example. But it also has brass. Maybe from what I feel is "western" about this something can be inferred about my impressions of Arab music. The timbre of western brass instruments changes how I perceive this. Is that fair?
The sound of acoustic strings and ornamented vocal passages are more common to the listening I have done so far. The modes used seem to define a Arab sound more than the instruments used for me.
