traditional music at its best.......2001-10-22

Abdelli is a Kabyle, a Berber from Algeria. He is currently living in Brussels, Belgium. This album is, as far as I know, his only offering on record. I consider this to be a prime example of traditional music at its best; rooted, but not provincial. It is also quite different from Arab music. Abdelli taught himself to play the "mandole", a typically Algerian mandoline-like instrument. He's not really a virtuoso, but his instrumental talents serve his art perfectly. Moreover, he is the lucky owner of one of the most haunting voices ever heard on record. Some of his songs have a mantra-like quality, others are very upbeat (there is even a football song !) If you have a weakness for remarkable voices, you should definitely check out this album.

If you're one of those people who feel that Realworld releases are a tad overproduced, you'll be happy to read that this record is the exception that proves the rule.

Personally, I'm a bit surprised how little interest this album has generated, since it is certainly one of the most interesting and original records on Realworld.

Wonderful!.......1999-01-15

This relatively unknown group should publish more recordings! Several tracks would make interesting dance routines - some are great for zils. Even if you don't dance, these intricate rythyms, the accomplished musicianship, and a variety of beats will keep everyone interested!
