Rahmann — Rahmann 1979 (Algeria/France, Progressive/Jazz Rock/Fusion)Full Album

The only album from an Algerian band based in France. Fronted by the talented North African guitarist and songwriter Mahamad Hadi, the band plays in a rather unique style, mixing fusion and Arabic melodies with a touch of zeuhl in the bass lines and overall rhythm. Fusion, Eastern motifs, pulsating rhythms, heavy bass, atmospheric guitar and keyboards (both electric and acoustic), plus a host of exotic instruments. A combination of Eastern themes and jazz improvisations, cosmic harmonies, meditativeness, and drive. Tracks: 01. Atlanta - 00:00 02. Nadiamina - 05:36 03. Ab - 11:59 04. Danse Sacrée - 20:00 05.
