Izanzaren! Izenzaren!! Izenzarn!!!


Ok, I'm back from a quick trip to Marrakech and I come back bearing some musical goodies. I thought we could begin with some more beguiling music from Snap, Crackle and Pop favourites, Izanzaren. Anyone who visits regularly may have heard some of the music posted back in 2009 by this important group, if you haven't then there's about 3 hours of songs to be found here, here and here.

I was further impressed when I discovered that Izanzaren (or Izenzaren, Izenzarn) translates as Sunbeams, which strikes me as a particularly sublime moniker for a musical combo.



Tracklist:

1a)Ddunit tga Izmaz
1b)Imhdan
2a)Imrjan n Rbbi
2b)Tassutad

Thanks to Tim for translating the songtitles. You're work is much appreciated.

Get it HERE.

Thanks! BTW, anyone noticed the little warning on the cover? Where it would ususally say "Unauthorized copying, reproduction, hiring, lending, public performance and broadcasting prohibited" etc, it plainly says "REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED" :D. A prophetical glimpse into copyright laws of the future, perhaps?
