Review: Great
Review: Mahmoud Darwish never fails to captivate. As with any translation, the beauty of his words wont come through as they do in Arabic, however, they by no means fall short of the brilliance expected of Darwish. I listen fondly to the music of Marcel Khalife, an artist who through music pays tribute to the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish. Any lover of Darwish's work would appreciate Khalife as well. If you don't already listen to Marcel, let me say that he is absolutely essential in understanding Mahmoud's relation to and influence on other artists.
