The record label says:
Michèle Claude, a master of Middle Eastern string instruments, fuses modern harmony with twelve traditional Arabic classical muwashsha songs. The muwashsha (an Arabic word meaning 'ornamented') originated in Muslim Spain over a millennium ago and are comparable to the songs of the medieval European troubadours and trouvères. The fusion of modern harmony over the traditional basso ostinato of these strophic songs fuses tradition with modernity and virtuoso musicianship from an eclectic group of singers and instrumentalists trained in a variety of schools, performing on traditional instruments.

Please note!
 Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
