3ème festival de musique Andalouse - Alger 1972 - Vol. 6


LP Mahrajan 72595 (Réalisation: Club du Disque Arabe)
On side 1 we have a modern version of the Arabo-Andalusian music (Malouf) of Tunisia, with a far too big orchestra and a mixed female and male chorus. We will post soon - insha'Allah - an LP with a more traditional form of the Malouf of Tunisia.
On side 2 we have a beautful version of the Arabo-Andalusian music of Algiers (Cana'a).

Side 1:
Orchestre National Tunisien
sous la direction du Professeur Salah El Mahdi (21:21)


Side 2:
Noubat Raml Maya
chanté par Zerrouk Mokdad (23:03)
