Steeped in ancient tradition, the acoustic music of the Arabic world is featured on this mesmerizing collection. On previous collections, Putumayo has explored upbeat Arabic pop and dance music (Arabic Groove and North African Groove) and laid-back Arabic electronica (Sahara Lounge). With Acoustic Arabia, we turn our attention to the subtler, more organic music of the Arabic world which has been inspired by the region¿s traditional music.
