In this recording, Tarik introduced what were later to become mainstays in the flameco sound such as the the oud, darbuka (clay or metal drum) and Udu (clay pot drum).
At this same time Tarik was collaborating and recording with flamenco masters such as Paco de Lucia, Manolo Sanlucar, Enrique Morente, Jorge Pardo, Carlos Benavent and Carlos Carli. In the late 80's Tarik & Julia formed the group Amal together with Maria Ahmed, Rasgui Boujemaa. Tarik & Rasgui's students Fain Duenas and Vicente Molina later went on to form the group Radio Tarifa.
