Comments:
Information from owned CD. The title (Música Arabigo-Andaluza de la Sevilla Medieval) on the CD cover is a bit misleading; it is not medieval arabic music from Seville, but music derived from it as it appears now in the tunisian maluf and oriental moaxajas. This CD was given A 5/5 rating in Goldberg.
