For the people of the desert,the oasis is the source and center of life.
Crystal clear springs,sweet and succulent dates,and the cool shade
of swaying palms all await the weary traveler.
Life in the oasis is dominated by rhythms both rapid and relaxed:
the playful babble of streams,the whisper of wind of the fronds,
the rising and setting of the sun,the cycle of the season.
the men and women of the oasis have their own rhythms,
and from songs of joy and celebration to expressions of
longing and solace,the oasis is alive with music.
