"Tunisia: Volume 2: Religious Songs and Cantillations"
The muezzin's call to prayer. In theory, each muezzin can compose a calling melody of his own in a determined musical context. The one in this track, composed by the singer himself, is particularly elaborate relative those of other muezzins in the region.
