Algerian music a kind person sent me recently. Great Saturday morning atmosphere. Thinking of politics in North Africa this week.
FYI Baltimore: I will be DJing Awesome Tapes from Africa on Saturday, February 5 at a party with a bunch of rad artwork and other DJs and stuff, at a place called STR8 CAVIN (B302 COPYCAT). Last time I went to Baltimore was for a hardcore show in like 2003. This is going to be awesome.
PS: In what feels like a major step, I joined Facebook this week. Just noticed someone made a Facebook page for this blog.

phenomenal!!!!!!!!!!!!! she’s so beautiful!
WOW! I did not expect sounds like this when I saw the cover. Raw and powerful singing with beautiful instrumentation. Any idea if this is a traditional Algerian music?
great stuff man… pls post more stuff from city boys/adofo.
this sounds great!
Brilliant Blog, Thank you and Keep Up the Great Work!
con cara A o side A y cara B o side B, como antes, gracias. que tiempos.
Yep same here – cover made me think this was going to be subdued/stuffy, but the first track just made my saturday morning breakfast! Great stuff :)
Sounds more pop then traditional to me? Its actually the second track i’ve been loving. Real nice.
She is a good singer.

fantastic…thanks a lot.
great. I love your blog. Awesome :)
Si no fuese por lo de “Edition Merabet” en cada rola, sería excelente
Supper great stuff. Does anyone know what the man is talking about at the beginning of the tracks? Is he introducing her and is he speaking french ? Is this common to the style.
super not supper. Its breakfast time here.
This is Algerian traditional Gasba (algerian flute) / Rai music.
The singer is from Sidi Bel abbes, in West Algeria.
At the beginning, the producer or one of the musicians introduces the Label company, the singer and each of the musicians by name.
