C'est superbe, je viens de découvrir ton blogue via François Donatien. Je vais y revenir souvent, j'adore l'idée et ton choix de musique.
Merci L.
J'ai hâte de voir le film! :)
Very smooth east-xotica and cha-cha mix! Liked it (not the outro, though). The whole Sabah film could have been a good invention way back at that time, but, alas.
Notes/Comments on The Track-List:
-Al-As'hab (or The Friends - الأصحاب) was a collective of back-singers started by the Rahbani Brothers in the early 60's (This track could be found on the Music From A Millionaire's Playground LP (1965). I had it on my own blog, but MediaFire took it off because of some "Ron Goodwin" copyright shwank. Derp.
-Fairouz' famous song is misspelled here by the way: El-Bint El-Chalabiyah, or 'The Beautiful Maiden'.
-Filmon Wehbe's own is called Melli El-Jarah (Fill The Jar), Ya Abdallah: it's about a very lethargic Abdallah (Muslim name? Dunno) who likes to eat and sit and do nothing. Filmon was always the anarchist.
-Sabah has a handful of cha-cha and ye-ye tunes under her, erm belt. This is from Music From A Millionaire's Playground LP (1965) with Chahine's International Orchestra. Old woman now... she is well, too old to be in any movie.
-This instru is a bit rare and odd to pin down for me as I'm not so into early 60's sounds. But, hmm the band must be from Egypt.
-Salah Ragab is a well-known pianist from Egypt. This is from his famous album with the Cairo Jazz Band which he helped form in the late 60's.
-This upbeat number is again a total mystery. Must be taken from some Egyptian film? Sounds like an Army band playing on one of those mid-60's black-and-white films? Ufft, ugh! I am 404 on that one, but there are more than one song in this: there's a Ya Nawaiem (Oh Fair One): a male-female chorus song cut by sharp yargoul playing (Lebanon?) and heavy darbouka.
-Omar Khourchid? Well... guitar has a god, finally. No further comments.
-Tunisian Mohammed El-Jerarri's famous song Sidi Mansour (Baba Bahri) is a oft-covered wedding and folklore song by many artists around the world.
-Back to the yargoul again, Lebanese folk instrumentalism is so perfect here: Nada. Dunno where have I heard this one, but it must be from a famous Lebanese folk tunes LP. Odd thing is, there is a synth-driven number at the end (before it slips into the next at exactly 40:21). All I can say about this song is that it's a medley-like of one of Farid Al-Atrache's songs (Wayyak, Wayyak - 'With You, With You').
-Tony Hannah is ahem, nowhere to be found: El-Bakkar gets through after the last instrumental with his faux-orientalisme music. Also, John Berberian's oud and the one before are not Middle-eastern music per se. I hate the ending to be honest. But, good, refreshing mix altogether.
