Description

EDITORIAL REVIEWS FROM THE LABEL The Toraia Orchestra achieved acclaim throughout Europe for their use of ancient instruments to play traditional North African music. Two of Islam's most popular singers and dancers, Anissa Toraira and Zounina, enliven the songs of passion on this release. This album contains the last recordings of singer Zounina, an Arabian beauty of nineteen. An Egyptian prince was so enraptured by her beauty and voice, he brought her back to Egypt to be married, never to sing professionally again.
