I have studied and performed Western music since age of 7. The Arabic scales and quarter tones liberate my mind. In general I don't care for pop. I like to hear Arabic music free of Western developed audio, like synthesizer and signal reprocessing but I did liked this pop mix. I wouldn't buy a pop CD or download pop. The more traditional, Arab made instruments, that is what I buy. (The first time I heard Fairuz my life changed.)
