Kassidat: raw 45s from Morocco
Tracked express shipping from Italy, no customs or import VAT in the EU. Shipping costs
Features six extended tracks from the Golden Age of the Moroccan record industry. 'Kassidat', the Arabic word for poetry, is one of the essential ingredients in Moroccan song. Despite the bewildering array of musical styles in Morocco, the Moroccan sense of poetry is found throughout the music, regardless of the style or language. This isn't the language of high art, but an often impenetrable vernacular poetry of oblique references, symbols, metaphors, and double entendres that describes the lives of average Moroccans. Mohamed Bergam, Rais Haj Omar Wahrouch, Abdellah el Magana, Jmimi, Lekbir and Fatma Anounya, Bennasser Oukhouya and Cheikha Hadda Ouakki, Cheikh Mohamed Riffi.
