Released in 2002 on Dadoua]]>Livehttp://djamellaroussi.calabashmusic.com/#album_717342006-11-17T03:00:35ZMusic from LiveIn the absorbing, immediately catchy songs composed, arranged and played by Djamel Laroussi, tricky rhythms from Egypt and Morocco settle right next to salsa and samba references and get married to grooves from Guinea and Cameroon. Embedded in pop structures, one can hear the ritual ceremonies of the gnawa, those mystical sufi brotherhoods. Jazz rock has a liaison with rap and raï, ballads indulge in colourful Arabic love poetry and parables. Released in 2003]]>
