Various

Add Item to Want List
LP (Item 616383) Sham Palace, Late 90s/2000s — Condition: New Copy

A great compilation of modern Dabke – Syrian dance music with heavy rhythms, chant vocals and uber-insistent beats – and progressive takes on the traditional sounds of the region! It's essentially a modernized take on the traditional celebration music of Houran region – with some electronic beats along with hand percussion and chant vocals – upping the energy and intensity of the sound. Wonderful stuff culled from cassettes and other sources around the cities of Daraa, Suweida and Damascus from late 90s onward. Includes "Love Is Not A Joke" and "Ma Dal Anouh" by Ahmad Al Kosem, "Mili Alay" Mohamed Al Ali, "Your Love Made My Head Hurt" by Abu Sultan, "Deg Deg Dagdego" by Abu Wafsi, "Instrumental Mejwiz" by Obeid Al Jum'aa and "Afrah Houran" by Faraj Kadah & Ashraf Abu Leil.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
