"This album full of atmosphere, groove and great playing, very successfull fusion between Arabic and Norwegien Music.Youssef's voice and compositions are inforgettable...

"Great MUSIC...Amazing"
Mary | Montreal, Canada | 04/11/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Dhafer Youssef is clearly interested in pushing music in directions not taken before... His music often requires me several listens before i can get into it deeply... It's so concis and technical but in the sametime so lyric and poetic...i can't really describe..just listen to it..it's amazing!

And, start by "DIVINE SHADOWS", this Youssef's last CD is nothing but a big Success!"
Utterly superb!
