This is one of the best Cd’s Alabina has dropped to date. It has been fifteen years Alabina’ last studio CD, “L’ Essentiel” which won Array Emmy� Awards and was nominated for album of the year. There is no doubt that Alabina has talent. Alabina and Comme Toi is really good.
Comme Toi presents the amazing mix of instruments on L’ Essentiel. Salma Ya Salama (Ole Y Ola) - another great track from the L’ Essentiel album. Lolole (Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood) is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Baila Maria is such a exquisite and optimistic song that things can get just better. Lolai (Ya Habibi Ya Eyni) - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Yo Te Vi (Ah Ya Zein) is simply excellent. This track is a great song that still never gets old. Alabina must have run out of lyrics on the next track Ya Mama, Ya Mama. Don’t judge Eshebo (Chebba) on the first listening. Tierra Santa is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. All of songs on L’ Essentiel and have something to say letting alone Linda. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Shir Ha’ Keshet (The Rainbow Song) from the beginning to the end. La Cubanita as a highlight of L’ Essentiel contains a ton of gorgeous melodies. Salam, La Paz Al Final is a amazing sing-along. Some of the arrangements found on L’ Essentiel are surprisingly edgy. One listen to the sheer beauty of Alabina (Spanish Version) was all I needed.
