FAKROUN AHMED - CD AHMED FAKROUN

Popis - AHMED FAKROUN:
Insanely popular across the Maghreb, name-checked in international spy novels and beloved of music adventurers like David Byrne, Libyan superstar Ahmed Fakroun is the most astounding raï-disco-electronica pioneer you never heard of. His 1983 album 'Mots D'Amour' is regarded as a global fusion classic. This self-titled anthology of songs from the late '70s is an altogether mellower affair. The grooves are slower and sweeter, and Fakroun's multi-instrumentalist chops on the saz, mandol and darbouka drum really come to the fore. The album includes the tracks from two of Ahmed's rarest and most sought-after 7"s: 'Nisyan' (1977) and 'Auidny' (1974/1977) and the album 'Awedny' (previously unreleased on vinyl).
