"In the Muslim world Ibn Battuta had the same significance as Marco Polo in Western countries. A relentless traveller, he deeply changed the perception of the Orient among his contemporaries and the following generations. Morocco, Mali, Egypt, Yemen, Zanzibar, India, The Maldives, China. This non-exhaustive list gives us a hint about the extraordinary journey Jordi Savall invites us to. As usual, Jordi Savall is surrounded by the best experts. Presented in a lavishly illustrated CD book".

"Like Ibn Battuta's rihla, Jordi Savall's musical journey offers a voyage through a somewhat idealised Orient, one held to be the cradle of knowledge, culture and religion in the 14th century ... Such a diverse programme and impressive cast of musicians will surely inspires every listener with a sense of wanderlust. Yet it is perhaps the subtext of this album - travelling through the world before modern borders - which is the most poignant part of Savall's message for us today".
