{"product_id":"fakroun-ahmed-ahmed-fakroun-lp-71047319056","title":"Ahmed Fakroun - Ahmed Fakroun [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003ePMG 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwedny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNjoom Al Leyel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNisyan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Ya-Hob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYumma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYa Blady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSinini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummar Al Layali 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFalah 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAl Hob 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYa Hussad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"79","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50560484213032,"sku":"71047319056","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3434810.jpg?v=1763983984","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/fakroun-ahmed-ahmed-fakroun-lp-71047319056","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
