Thru the "Sawtuha" project and Blitz The Ambassador playing quite some shows in Morocco I've had the pleasure to travel North Africa quite frequently lately and whenever possible I did some record shopping. This is a selection of some of the finds, music from the 60s and 70s from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Some known some not yet. 

This is also a kick off to a new loose series of mixes by us, people we work with or people we are just friends with. Enjoy.

i got to travel a lot in north africa in the last years thru touring with blitz the ambassador and the studio session with oddisee for sawtuha in tunisia. while being there i did some digging and found some incredible music from the 60s and 70s. some of the music in this mix has zero info on the net, was never sold on ebay and has not been "rediscovered" yet. others are somewhat classics in the field of „arabic groove“. the music in this mix comes from morocco, libya, eggpt, algeria, lebanon and syria.

"Habibi Funk 002 Mix" by Jannis of Jakarta Records (Mix of Arabic 60s & 70s vinyl)

When musicians become older quite (الترجمة العربية أسفله) out completely new musical directions. Fadoul is no stranger to this so in his 40s he became interested in early hip hop, dub and reggae. he recorded an album with 10 tracks playing around with some instrumental works he had found and yet created another unique record. THIS GUY IS A LEGEND! 

Shout out to Mehdi for selling us the only known copy of this tape. Reissue coming later this year. We printed some Bob Fadoul shirts which you can find here: https://habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.co...

عندما يبلغ الموسيقيون عمرا متقدما بعض الشيء في غالب الأحيان يتخدون توجهات موسيقية جديدة. فضول لم يكن بالغريب عن هذه العادة حيث بدأ يهتم بثقافة الهيب هوب و الريغي عند بلوغه الأربعين. قام هذا الأخير بتسجيل ألبوم يتكون من 10 مقاطع مستعملا تسجيلات موسيقية كان قد وجدها من قبل و صنع منها تسجيل جديدا و نادر من نوعه. هذا الرجل بمثابة أسطورة. 
نشكر مهدي الذي باع لنا النسخة الوحيدة المعروفة من هذا الألبوم. سوف نقوم بإعادة إحيائها قريبا في هذه السنة.

لقد قمنا أيضا بطباعة بعد التشيرتات ل "بوب فضول" يمكنكم أن تجدها هنا :

Fadoul aka Bob Fadoul - Fi Jamique (Morocco, 1980s)

From Cosmic Cabo Verde to synth-reggae at the Horn of Africa.

(Special Mix for Vinyl Factory)
Frankfurt-based label Analog Africa is easily one of the most noteworthy labels rescuing and reissuing Afro sounds.

In 2015, the label gave us an exceptional anthology of Afro-Cuban pioneer Amara Touré, not to mention a compilation of tracks plucked straight from the dance floors of ’70s Senegal. Last year, they blew our human minds with some of the most extraterrestrial synth music we’ve ever heard on Space Echo.

This year, the label turns ten. To celebrate label boss Samy Ben Redjeb and his DJ partner Pedo Knopp have recorded a special mix which we’re delighted to share here.

“What is special about this mix is the fact that all the songs, except one, will be released on Analog Africa in 2017,” says Samy. “They have all been handpicked by myself and mixed in real time, without loops or any other kind of gimmicks by Pedo.”

It’s a synth-ridden journey from reggae in the Horn of African to Cosmic sounds of Cabo Verde, wavey soca-boogie monsters and other proto-electronic Afro jams.
