"Known to many as 'the diva of Arab song,' Moroccan singer Aicha Redouane has been delighting Arab and Western audiences since the 90s. A resident of France since her earliest childhood, Redouane has sung in various styles. In the late 80s, she devoted herself to the musical tradition of the Arab maqam, establishing a name for herself not only as a singer but also as a qanun player. Her latest release, Maqam d'amour, is based on 8th century poems written by the Sufi saint Rabi'a Al-'Adawiyya, but the message is timeless."

"On this new Ocora disc, Aļcha Redouane and the Ensemble Al-Adwar rediscover the art of wasla (a musical suite performed by a chamber orchestra -- qanun zither, oud lute, kaman violin and riqq percussion), which reached its apogee in Cairo in the 19th century. It is a repertoire and a vocal technique that once seemed completely lost. Redouane, born in Morocco and raised in France, is a leading exponent of Arabic and Arabo-Andalusian music."
