Ousmane – Ya Ghagh-Irifi (Morocco, 1976, Mawel)

Musical Youtube updates of vintage African, West Indian, Oriental and others World Grooves from the 50s to the 90s every Wednesday & Sunday, feel free to subscribe to this channel to not miss any ! Ousmane (“Lightning”) was a band from Morocco, who used to play Amazighe (berber tribe from North Africa) Gnawa music in the 70s. Really setter for the time, the band was composed of 6 members : Ammuri M’barek, Said Bijaaden, Said Butrufin, Belaid el-Akkaf, Tarik el-Maaroufi and Lyazed Qorfi. They recorded two singles in 1976, toured all around the country and performed a concert in Paris (France) at the Olympia Concert Hall on the 5 of February 1977 (that was also recorded on vinyl), before splitting in 1978. Following to that former post, I wanted to share with you for today "Ya Ghagh-Irifi", a splendid Gnawa Jazz Folk desert blues with very sweet violin parts, taken from the second single of the band, recorded in 1976 - Enjoy !
