LJUBA DAVIS LADINO ENSEMBLE/East & West: Despite this being a twofer cd, it's not divided onto east and west, it's divided into instrumental and vocal. And even though we know the LDL in the website name refers to the group's leader's initials, with all the attention on bad cholesterol these days, well, no need to scare people off needlessly. Top ethnic players from along the Mediterranean axis join together with one of the leaders of the west coast Jewish music revival for the soundtrack to the unmade middle eastern thriller movie that this would fit perfectly into. Without flourishes that make this extra palatable to tourists or extra precious to devout ethnics, this is simply the pure music served up hot and sure to grab your attention. Going way beyond your typical belly dance or ethnic restaurant record, the armchair world beater will be more than captivated by the musical goings on here.
