"Catchy melodies, energetic rhythms & an infusion of a latinesque sound all combine to make even the uninitiated Middle Eastern music listener want to get up and dance. Nice duet combinations eg with Khaled & with Angela Dimitriou (a popular Greek singer). My favourite Diab album at the moment .... good for parties, in the car , to unwind after work or just to plain move your hips to."

"Amr Diab is one of my favorite middle eastern singers, and this album is quick to prove why. Track 4 DOES have a club feel to it, as the previous reviwer said and it is my favorite song on the album. The whole concept of "I Love You More" is a great song for a couple to listen to. The title track is one of the best on here. If you aren't one to buy a "best of" album to test a singer, than you should start here. Every song get a 5 rating on a 1-5 scale. Also, for all of you Cheb Khaled fans, he is on song number 3 wit Mr. Diab"

"This collection is HOT! While in a music store on a recent visit to Sao Paulo, I spotted this CD. An employee played several tracks for me and I was sold! Fat Festa is a blend of Gospel, R&B, Soul and Salsa. The entire CD is AWESOME! From the strong vocals to the rythmn and the music, this compilation of Brazillian music will move you. FACIL DE DIZER and MADRUGADA are beautiful soulful slow ballads. OH HAPPY DAY, sung in english gives you the feeling of an early sunday church service on a hot summer morning. This is truly a MUST BUY! YOU WILL LOVE IT! OBRIGADA!"
A great crossover CD

"A good first time purchase for those interested in Middle Eastern music. The track "Bahibak Aktar" has an ethno-club feel, much in the vein of Ofra Haza. The ballads have a haunting quality missing from so much Western music. An awesome CD."
GREAT music, WORTH BUYING

"Fat Family creatively mixed the soul of Brazilian music, based on the art of gospel music, and added a bit of Latin rhythm. This CD is great for the music lover who is creative enough to just listen.Great Job!"
