Dalton was a band from Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. They came together as a band around 1968 when most of the members studied together at the University of Tunis. The band had five members. Faouzi Chekili on guitar, piano and vocals, Ridha Kouhen on bass guitar, Mustapha Rehouma and sax and percussion, Sadok Gharbi on trumpet and vocals and Skaner Alim on drums and vocals. They were active in the local scene, playing music that was heavily influenced by American soul and funk and at the same time regional musical traditions. In the early 70s the band got a regular gig at a beach hotel called Sahara Beach Resort on the coastline of Tunisia. They had six month contracts for a couple of years in the early 70s and during that time they would play every single night of the tourist season. While the hotel gig required the band to play sets leaning      towards tourist entertainment, the regular work helped put some money into the band's accounts. Using those funds the band was able to travel to Rome to record their one and only 7“ single release "Alech" around 1971/1972. The band eventually dismantled in the mid 70s and returned briefly as a new group with new members in the late 1970s under the name Carthago but that is a different story…… 

"That "Soul Brother" is my jam…. !!!!"

The single itself impressed us heavily when we first stumbled upon it through French collector Victor Kiswell. While the b-side "Soul Brother“ sounds like a Tunisian version of modern soul / AOR with it’s English lyrics and lush arrangements, the title track "Alech“ is the one that will get every party started. An infectious 3/4 rhythm, a great horn arrangement and brillantly layered vocals that made us think of Brazillian music or the Georgian groove band Gaya. Luckily Faouzi Chekili, the former band leader and composer uses social media communication so he was easy to track down. He is still active as a renowned musician in the Tunisian jazz scene and remains active recording and playing concerts both in Tunisia and internationally.

Restored and mastered by Roskow at Audiomoto Studios.

Music, lyrics and picture: Vincent Carayol (https://soundcloud.com/vincent-chansons-bleues)

It was a pleasure and an honor for me to meet Vincent Carayol on Soundcloud about two years ago. Vincent has become a good friend, and he is someone with whom I share similar views on music. He is also a great songwriter. I got particularly impressed and moved by his song "Du bleu" (https://soundcloud.com/vincent-chansons-bleues/du-bleu). For quite some time, we have been talking about covering it together. Last week, I decided to stop procrastinating and recorded some acoustic guitars and vocals, which I sent to Vincent. He was so happy with the result that he advised me to post this version as is, and this is just what I am doing today (May 3, 2016).

Du bleu (Vincent Carayol, 1996)

Quand mon bateau, devient galère
Et que les rameurs, ont pris « la fille de l’air »
Je fixe l’horizon, je guette les poissons… volants

La barre me blesse les mains, le sel me pique les yeux
Mes calculs incertains, me mènent ou le vent veut
Mon cap est difficile, je suis si malhabile à ouvrir les yeux, sur...

Du bleu, du bleu, du bleu, du bleu si fragile
Du bleu, du bleu, du bleu, plus bleu vu du sable, que vu des cieux…

J’ai croisé avant-hier, c’était un vendredi
Un Robinson peu fier, de sa croisière à lui
Je l’ai pris à mon bord, je me croyais assez fort… pour deux

Il m’a conté sa vie, en choisissant ses mots
Puis quand il a fini, il s’est jeté à l’eau
Et j’ai bien regretté, de n’avoir pas trouvé… dans ses yeux

Du bleu, du bleu, du bleu, du bleu si fragile
Du bleu, du bleu, du bleu, plus bleu vu du sable, que vu des cieux…

Je traîne dans mon sillage, du couchant au levant
Des sirènes sans visages, que j’écoute en pleurant
Ligoté au grand mat, c’est ma façon à moi… d’exister

J’ai jeté ce matin, mes cartes et mon compas
Ce n’est pas très malin, mais je me sens si las
Je dérive si loin, je peux me perdre enfin…par là-bas, vers...

Du bleu, du bleu, du bleu, du bleu si fragile
Du bleu, du bleu, du bleu, plus bleu vu du sable, que vu des cieux…

Du bleu (Vincent Carayol)

Music in Standard Tuning

Hello! I'm a self-taught guitarist and composer. Influences range from Carlos Martinez, Yamandú Costa and Jorge Drexler to Bert Jansch, Davy Graham, Nick Drake and, of course, Led Zeppelin. I play a steel-string Breedlove Passport Plus C250 and a cheap nylon Salvador Ibañez G5TECE-AM. I've finally gotten around to setting up some proper recording equipment and will start editing my material properly, starting with "Urkultur". Most of my uploads before that are recorded on a Yamaha Pocketrak.
