Musical performance :  I saw the band at the Festival du Monde Arabe de Montreal and it was really amazing. This group mix traditionnal arabian music with progressive rock and fusion Jazz music with an absolute perfection.

Sonic performance: The soundstage is good but the stereo image is a little tiny. The voice is really incredible. The sound is very natural, and each instrument have a good place. The record is very nice with a good mix between traditional instrument and electric sound.
