3ème festival de musique Andalouse - Alger 1972 - Vol. 2

LP Mahrajan 72591 (Réalisation: Club du Disque Arabe)

On side 1 is a rather awful modern version of classical Arab music with a far too big orchestra inspired by western symphonic orchestras with a huge mixed female and male chorus. Traditionally this music used to be performed by a solo singer and a small ensemble, the so-called Takht, with just an 'Ud, a Qanun, a Nay, maybe a violin, and one or two percussionists on the Riqq and Darbouka.

Side 2 has a very beautiful and traditional example of the Arabo-Andalusian music of Tlemcen, in the so-called Gharnati (coming from Granada) style.

Side 1:

sous la direction du Professeur Abdelhalim Nouira (24:00)

Side 2:

Orchestre Mustapha Belkhodja de Tlemcen:
