LISTEN: Abranis - Chenagh le Blues

Title: 1970s Algerian Folk and Pop
Label: Sublime Frequencies
LP - release date: 5/20/2014
CD - release date: 06/10/2014

Sublime Frequencies is thrilled to present a second volume of classic tracks from Algeria's popular music history. Where volume 1 focused on the early to mid-1970s Rai scene in western Algeria, this album features a variety of pop and folk styles from that same period. From the heavier rock and psychedelic sounds of Rachid & Fethi, Les Djinns and Les Abranis, to the haunting folk music of Kri Kri and Djamel Allem and the film soundtrack moods of Ahmed Malek, 1970s Algerian Folk & Pop documents a key period in the modern musical renaissance of a nation in transition. Most of these tracks are from 45 rpm singles, the key format during the early 1970s before the cassette took over as the medium of choice. Western musical influences can be heard throughout this extremely diverse record, yet there is an undeniable Algerian sense of sadness contained here within a more tolerant space in time between two of the country's most significant historical periods; National Independence from France and the darker times of a brutal civil war yet to come. Compiled by Hicham Chadly, this limited edition LP comes in a full-color gatefold jacket with lovely images from the period and extensive liner-notes by Omar Zelig, Algeria's most legendary radio DJ.

- Compiled by Hicham Chadly for Sublime Frequencies.

MOULATE SALEF
Conversation between a man and his love, a woman with long braided hair. This song is more of a stylistic exercise. Romanticism in the literary sense: in the following verse there are 8 words in Arabic that express the same idea of betrayal. (in Arabic, different words)
(man speaks)
"I'm afraid your heart will betray me,
causes me pain and betrayal,
I'm afraid that this love will torment me, and I'll be betrayed again.
(...)  "
