Hedi Habbouba (Tunisia)

Aouicha

In all simplicity, men’s choir in good mood answers to flutes of snake’s charmers with a background of military percussions. Good tension, tough vibrations.

Fawzi Al-Aiedy (Irak)

Zourna drumes

Incredibly modern, this short track proposes a solo of flute, but it is the percussions, numerous, varied and endowed with a western feeling, which make the difference.

Ansambl Braće Petrović (Serbia)

Typically yugoslav, this composition fascinates by its oriental side. Quarters of tone hidden in the clarinet, charming farfisa and funky bass: a delicious UFO.

Κατερινα Καναρη (Greece)

Παρε Με Στην Αγκαδια Σου

We ignore it as long as we did not listen to: the greek records, it is not only sirtaki. An important pop scene, mixing its roots with the persian musics, also exists, and it is necessary to discover it as soon as possible.

Noura (Algeria)

Baad maa chafet ayeni

Before marrying him and becoming Noura of the duet with Kamel Hamadi, Sonny and Cher of the Maghreb, Noura was a big fashionable singer in the fifties.
