I believe this album is a masterpiece. My favorite tunes though are the Middle-Eastern, rather than the Spanish. But this album represents a journey for Jon Mark, from the Middle-East to North Africa to Spain at the time of The Alhambra. This was a brief "golden age" in human history, in which Spain was a welcoming melting pot for people of different cultures, music, cuisine and all manner of religions. Everyone lived in harmony and enjoyment of life reached an all-time high in one little pocket of Planet Earth.
It was ultimately ruined by (big surprise) The Catholic Church, by brutal means of The Inquisition, in the 1300's and 1400's.

Everything you can ask of the mysterious eastern sound that fascinates and transports us westerners!
