BACKGROUND
Legendary Ilham Al Madfai is Iraq's finest world fusion jazz artist, gave folklorre songs of the Middle East a face lift and added a touch of world jazz to them. All his albums contain the best music of 20th century to come of Iraq flavoured with spanish flamenco and his distinguished band. The two above "Mawtini & Eid ya Mahbobi" tracks are two of many fantastic songs he's composed and re-arranged.

Tarkan is Turkeys music ambassador to the outside world, his famous "Kiss Kiss" track was remixed by Holly Valance. "Hup" track is one of the best he made, with ecclectic mix of eastern and western beatswith an added touch of mischief.
