Cult classic LP by often-sampled (including Jay Z and J Dilla) Arabic diva Warda recorded in 1973 with full Egyptian orchestra on the label Soutelphan. Reissued on vinyl for the first time, with remastered audio, original artwork and two page insert with new introduction.
The album recorded in public mixes traditional Arabic music with a tinge of 70s grooves. On 'Khalik Hena', Warda delivers a hypnotic performance backed by her full-size orchestra, who had also helped make famous songs by Oum Khalthoum, Farid El Atrache and Abdel Halim Hafez. It is written by legendary composer Baligh Hamdi, who was by then also her husband.
'Khalik Hena' blends traditional and modern instrumentations (electric guitar, organ) and the music is both complex and groovy. It has been sought after by Arabic diggers and collectors alike for many decades.
An undisputed classic of Arabic Music and not available on vinyl since the mid 70's. This release features the original LP artwork, remastered audio and a 2-page insert featuring a new introduction by Mario Choueiry from Institut du Monde Arabe. Choueiry is the curator of the Arabic Wewantsounds series of reissues.
