I'd never heard any of the OOOOLD Âsri tapes - loving the live ambiance!<br /><br />I'd guess this is at least as old as 1988, and perhaps older, but I really don't know. And yeah, Âsri is definitely associated with Fes.<br /><br />Thanks again Mr. T, and I'm looking forward to what else you've got coming!tim abdellahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301786830697929252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041890406822353257.post-46992861962679913512013-05-07T21:06:47.816+01:002013-05-07T21:06:47.816+01:00Hey Hammer,

Thanks, as always, for the insights, the translations, and the cultural context you provide for the music. <br />I've got some smokin' cassettes from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya that I'll be posting over the coming months (Thanks Joachim!) so keep your eyes and ears peeled.<br />Stay well,<br />Mr T Mr Tearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245874711568171519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041890406822353257.post-59969867155236209272013-05-05T09:07:34.622+01:002013-05-05T09:07:34.622+01:00You are making it overflow here with wonderful cas...You are making it overflow here with wonderful cassette after another from Morocco, Mr. T. so much, that I am sure Tim Abdellah should be really proud and jolly. T'barkallah.<br /><br />This new one by L'Orchestre Si Mohammed El-Asri is just amazing. In fact, verything about Sidi Mohammed El-Asri is amazing: he played almost all different styles of popular Moroccan music: from Andalusian, to the mundane chaâbi and l'malhoun; and he sang songs of happiness, joy, and national pride.<br /><br />Mohammed Al-Asri (sometimes written as Esri, or in Arabizi '3sri') is a living legend who was never covered by the media (media-missed). His early starts were in his birthplace Fes. His debonair musical presence, among that of his constituent band (L'Orchestre), has made them a stable of the Moroccan household and the life of the party.<br /><br />He was credited for popularising Âissawiya into the mainstream. Also, he sang a lot of religious-themed Amdah songs where he enraptured souls with adulations about the Prophet Mohammed. Straight from the sublime, he went to 'orchestrate' such Arab tarab classicals like Zay El-Hwaa by Abdel-Halim Hafez. He's an artist and a violints without compare.<br /><br />This Fassi Disques (V-22) CC goes back to 1988 I guess. Only Tim would attest its original date.<br /><br />Track-List:<br /><br />Face-A:<br />1.) Isbart Lazelt N'sbir.<br />2.) Ata'alili.<br />3.) Amma, Hayati.<br /><br />Face-B:<br />1.) El-Ghaba.<br />2.) B'nat El-lyce.<br />3.) Ajani, we Jani.<br />4.) Fe 'Houmah.<br /><br />Well, thanks for melding these tracks into one, wholesome trippadelic track. <br /><br />You rock... We roll.<br /><br />H.H.Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462766826817071023noreply@blogger.com
