PMG present an anthology of
Ahmed Fakroun
's work. "Insanely popular across the Maghreb, name-checked in international spy novels and beloved of music adventurers like
David Byrne
, Libyan superstar Ahmed Fakroun is the most astounding raï-disco-electronica pioneer ever to be heard. His 1983 album,
Mots D'Amour
(PMG 005CD/LP, 1983) is regarded as a global fusion classic. This self-titled anthology of songs from the late '70s is an altogether mellower affair. The grooves are slower and sweeter and Fakroun's multi-instrumentalist chops on the saz, mandol and darbouka drum really come to the fore. The album includes tracks from two of Ahmed's rarest and most sought-after 7 inches. 'Nysan' has an almost west coast vibe: think
Ned Doheny
via Benghazi. Balearic-minded collectors will love the haunting flute runs in 'Awedny', produced by
Tommy Vance
, and 'Njoom Al Leyel'. There's even a touch of lilting reggae on 'Falah' and 'Yu Hussad.'
Ahmend Fakroun
is the perfect late night, come-down album, especially after a hot and sweaty evening in a raï club, somewhere in North Africa." --
Peter Moore
