Papa Noel Bel Ami CD (2000)

Kwassa Kwassa CD music

$16.85
Of the many Congolese guitarists, there are three that form a triumvirate: Nico, Franco, and Papa Noel. This excellent sample of his work is taken from the 1984 Bon Samaritain and the 1994 Haute Tension. The first musical influence on the young Noel were Cuban sones. At about the same time during his early youth, the first ...

Ernest Tubb Let's Say Goodbye Like We Said Hello CDs (1991) (Import) Box Set; Germany

Kwassa Kwassa music CDs

$104.45

These 119 songs over five CDs represent Ernest Tubb at the very peak of his career musically and commercially, from 1947 until 1953. Disc One is filled with winners; Tubb's voice on these and the rest of the songs in this collection is at its richest and most expressive, not exactly soaring (it never did that) but never straining into the top of his range, and the results, coupled with Jerry Byrd's steel guitar and Tubb's and Jimmie Short's guitars, are exceptionally satisfying, ...

Salamat Meets Les Musicians Du Nil Salam Delta CD (1995)

Kwassa Kwassa songs

$26.79
Salam Delta originated as a pan-modern Cairo musical revue assembled by Salamat leader Mahmoud Fadl for a 1994 Berlin festival. The performances so thoroughly torched audiences that Piranha decided to run the whole crew into the studio. Be glad they did, and also that the smart ass jokester aspects in the liner notes (or the presence of Hijaz Mustapha from 3 Mustaphas 3 as producer) doesn't turn up in the high-octane performances here. But solemn traditionalism doesn't rule, either -- these players, drawn from Salamat, and percussion ensemble Les Musiciens du Nil, are fronted here by singers Shamandi Tewfig Metqâl, Salama Abdel Rahman, and 12-year-old prodigy Ahmed Fathy, who sound like they're having an absolute blast. "Salamat, Salamat" opens with a very early rai feel, except these are the type of horn, accordion, and violin parts and sound the first rai guys were trying to capture via synthesizers. It's seriously rocking, nothing laid-back traditional about it, with Metqâl shouting hard while the galloping percussion drive keeps going through Salama's female vocals on "Ya Ghayeb," with its '80s rai accordion and bubbling funk basslines. Fathy's "Habibi Wa Enaya" brings the Egyptian side of Arabic pop to the fore as strings dominate a sparer arrangement supporting the near-androgynous vocals. He's a good singer, hitting his notes surely and without any tentativeness, and the fact that he's the least impressive of the three vocalists is nothing a few years of seasoning won't cure. The best may be Salama and the blend of accordion, sax, and violin lines on "Betfout" which help to fill in another piece of the sonic puzzle -- the Sudanese/Nubian music of Abdel Gadir Salim or Ali Hassan Kuban (probably the soul/R&B/funk side of the Egyptian pop equation) is that other naggingly familiar sound in the music here. "El Zol Al Asal" boasts a funky bass undertow, and the violin and vocals both hint at "Tequila" -- call it "Tequila" by the Nile in Berlin with a Washington, D.C. go-go beat if you want to (or call it messing with the kid) but it's definitely big fun. "Farawla" is ...
