Natacha Atlas Ana Hina Rar File
With the release of her newest album, songstress Natacha Altas has once again confounded those struggling to assign a genre to her music. In her seventh solo album, Natacha disregards her typical technoesque, beat-driven performances with ululating vocals for a more subdued palate of traditional Arabic melodies and string ensembles. Natacha pays homage to one half of her roots with covers of Egyptian superstar Abdel Halim Hafez's 'Beny Ou Benak Eih' and 'El Asil'. She also performs three songs from the repertoire of Lebanese star Fairuz: La Shou El Haki, Ya Laure Hobouki, and La Teetab Alayi. However, the Spanish flavor of such tracks as 'La Vida Callada' (Based on a Frida Kahlo poem of the same name) prevents this album from being classified as 'Arabic'. This duet also prompts the listener to wonder where songwriter/vocalist/ukeleist Clara Sanabras has been hiding. A particularly lovely version of the traditional Scottish ballad 'Black is the Color' also reminds us that Natacha can do anything Nina can. This new acoustic sound is a wise move and has given Natacha an unexpected but welcome musical reboot.

Mounqaliba (Arabic: منقلبة; English: In a State of Reversal) is a 2010 album by Belgian singer Natacha Atlas. Co-produced by Samy Bishai, it was inspired by the poems of Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore.[2] In addition to original works, it also contains covers of Françoise Hardy and Nick Drake songs.[3] The album also features composers Zoe Rahman and Jocelyn Pook.
The album features audio clips from non-commercial film director, and activist Peter Joseph and self-educated industrial engineer and futurist Jacque Fresco through multiple tracks, as well as references to Zeitgeist: Addendum and a resource-based economy.[4]
Derek Beres named Mounqaliba on his list of the Top 12 Records of 2010 and Siddhartha Mitter listed it as one of his top 10 world music CDs of 2010.[5][6] Contrary to these views, The Guardian music reviewer Robin Denselow gave the album 2.5 stars in his review; citing purposeful limitation of her vocal range, reliance upon 'an easygoing swirl of Arabic-tinged strings and jazz-edged piano' and '[being] annoyingly interspersed with spoken 'interludes' [by Joseph and others]' as the reason for the rating.[1]
