Review:
Sinewy, sophisticated, and genre-expansive, 'Dellali' features Mami's barbed-wire vocals cutting through multi-layered fields of wild and orchestral violin, accordion, cello, oud, and drums. In turnabout, Sting backs Mami on a track, and late Nashville sensation Chet Atkins is on guitar on backing vocals. This recording takes Rai into new fields while still keep the Algerian roots intact. — CalabashMusic.com |
