Music appreciation is colored by our expectations and knowledge. Let me give you an example of what kind of silliness lack of grounding can cause: The sixth track of this recording is called "Tere Ishq Nachaaya". That phrase appears many times in the music but I hear something different. I hear "Ewa Mataya" instead of "Ishq Nachaaya". Anybody know what that is? It's the name of a Swedish-American Model who is most famous as a many-times women's world champion pool (pocket billiards) player! I am familiar with Ewa so I initially try to interpret what I'm hearing in terms of what I know. Of course that leads to utter nonsense.I developed an interest in Sufi music by hearing it played, occasionally, on a university radio station in Albuquerque, NM where I live. I selected two CD's here at Amazon about two years ago. I like both very much and this one the best. However, I did not review the music immediately because of the issues mentioned above. I enjoy the music but I do not understand it in the way that some of you might be able to. It's taken me two years to realize that understanding isn't important. This music has an emotional and rhythmatic impact that is sensational. I really do like it but I can't give you one intellectual or cultural reason why you will like it too. But I'm almost certain that you will. This is no different than liking opera but knowing little or no Italian. I recommend buying this CD, closing your eyes and just letting enjoyment seep in.AFTERTHOUGHT: Note that the CD offering - what I reviewed - and the MP3 offered next to it have nothing to do with each other. Amazon seems to share reviews for tomatoes with those for goat. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love it. *by Y***O on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2015* I have not stop listening to this tape.
