Album Notes

"Riqmat HaZimrah" - "Embroidery of Sacred Song" is Za'atar's long-awaited 3rd CD. Follow Za'atar on its continuing exploration of the musical culture of Jewish communities originating in Arab and Muslim regions.

Za'atar's music might be your first encounter with non-Klezmer, non-European Jewish music. Allow Za'atar to take you on a tour of the Near East and North Africa to hear music that is both religiously ecstatic and contemplative, has a complexity to engage your intellect, and a rocking beat that makes you want to clap your hands and get up and dance!

Excellent!!
author: Joshua Keane
This album is truley excellent, and is one of the -best- you'll find of this kind of music! Part of its beauty and uniqueness is that it weighs heavyer on the instrumentals than the vocals. This is a must have for anyones collection!!! I ONLY WISH THAT THEIR PREVIOUS ALBUMS WERE FOR SALE!!! I think it is an utter shame and loss that their previous works are unavailable. I would buy them if I could!!!

Great CD

This CD was a great find. I found it out by accident. I was looking for Za'atar (a seasoning for Israeli salad) and your CD baby website came up with this band. And I love ME/North African sound!!
