Unobtrusive & bucolic Syrian classical ensemble. Shipshape interplay of zither, oud, a couple of singers, flute & hand drums. The zither player is originally from Paris instead of Syria, so the notes spend way too much time romanticizing his house, where the recording was made (apparently it has a lot of sumptous cushions). He nails plenty of ornate licks though.
