About this product

An absolutely legendary album from Lebanon by Issam Hajali's group Ferkat Al Ard, InchOghneyaInch stands out as one of the great musical gems of the Arab world. A groundbreaking from 1978 that represents the meeting point of Arab, jazz, folk and Brazilian styles with the talent of Ziad Rahbani, who did the albums arrangements. Filled with a variety of sounds and genres, from Baroque Pop to Psych-Folk to flashes of Bossa Nova, Tropicalia and MPB, InchOghneyaInch is like if Arthur Verocai took a trip to Beirut in the 70's to record an album. Tracklist 1. Matar Al Sabah 2. Entazerni 3. Oghneya 4. Edfeno Amwatakom Wanhadou 5. Matar Naem 6. Lahnon Lemra'ati Wa Beladi 7. Juma'a 6 HziranIn 2015 we heard Ferkat Al Ard's music for the first time, a Lebanese trio compromised of Issam Hajali, Toufic Farroukh and Elia Saba. It was a stunningly unique that blends traditional Arabic elements, jazz and Brazilian rhythms hand in hand with poetic-yet-politically engaged lyrics. The band was active in the left-wing movement of Lebanon of the time and they communicated their political ideas candidly through their songwriting. In our mind the idea was to see whether Issam was interested in re-releasing InchOghneya. Inch He was not opposed to it, but also made it clear that it was not his priority for a first project. He suggested we start with his first album, before Ferkat Al Ard was formed, InchMouasalat Ila Jacad El Ard,Inch which was recorded in 1977 in Paris together with his friend Roger Fakhr (whose work we have been privileged to re- in the meantime as well. ) InchMouasalat Ila Jacad El ArdInch is melancholic, stripped-down, guitar-based folk intertwined with jazz-fused breaks, and the unique sound of the santour glistens through. While the music is very accessible, some song structures are rather atypical, neglecting common patterns of verse, hook, verse, hook. The lyrics m

Tinariwen's breakthrough album originally released in 2004, now remastered and repackaged with a bonus unreleased track, exclusive photos and brand-new liner notes. The CD comes in a 6 panel digipak, with exclusive photos, and extensive new liner notes. Amassakoul features songs from Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, Abdallah Ag Alhousseyni, Touhami Ag Alhassane Tinariwen are Tuaregs, children of a nomadic Berber tribe who have roamed the Saharan desert for thousands of years. Over recent centuries, colonialism has seen the Tuareg's ancestral territory partitioned into distinct countries - Mali, Algeria, Libya, Niger. This drawing of borders has turned the Tuareg into ishumar, a displaced people in search of a homeland lost to them. Tinariwen's music ' a blend of West African traditional music and electrified rock'n'roll ' speaks directly to this feeling of longing a sound that critics have called 'desert blues'. Album Tracks 1. Amassakoul'n'ténéré 2. Oualahila Ar Tesninam 3. Chatma 4. Arawan 5. Chet Boghassa 6. Amidinin 7. TÉNÉRÉ Daféo Nikchan 8. Aldhechen Manin 9. Alkhar Dessouf 10. Eh Massina Sintadoben 11. Assoul 12.
