Has persisted as a cult classic, a collection of a rarely heard and utterly unique underground musicscene, raw and unfiltered.\u00a0The LP version we now present is intended as an immersive entry into this music: gnarled and virtuosic electric guitars weave hypnotically throughout melismatic sung poetry and exclamations, pulsing hand drums, party chatter, buzzing rigged desert sound systems, and all manner of the ambient sounds of Nouakchott wedded to oversaturated cassette in all it&#8217;s swirling, breathing, psychedelic glory. Operating\u00a0entirely outside of any local recording industry, these songs were collected from bootleg tape stalls, wedding souveniers, and networks of musicians, expertly curated, researched and produced by Matthew Lavoie.\u00a0Drawing from the deep well of Mauritanian classical music, the gamut of musical modes and the tidinitt lute repertoire are transposed to the electric guitar &#8211; often with frets removed or additional frets installed, heavy metal&#8221; distortion pedals and phasers built into guitar bodies, blurring the lines between Haratine and Beydane musical cultures, the ancient and the futuristic. At times transcendent and transfixing, and conversely a furious and cascading intensity that commands jaw-dropping attention.\u00a0For fans of the more raw side of Sublime Frequencies, Sahelsounds, the ripping tape-hiss psychedelia of Les Rallizes Denudes, and anyone remotely interestedin GUITARS.<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>01 Kebrou &#8211; Banjey &#8216;Boogie&#8217;<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">02<\/span>\u00a0Ateg Ould Syed &#8211; L&#8217;ensijab<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">03<\/span>\u00a0Jeich Ould Chighaly &#8211; Wezin<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">04<\/span>\u00a0Kebrou &#8211; Banjey<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">05<\/span>\u00a0Deye Ould Amartichitt &#8211; Paris<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">06<\/span>\u00a0Mohammed Guitar &#8211; Banjey &amp; Medh<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">07<\/span>\u00a0Baba Ould Hembara &amp; Mama Mint Hembara &#8211;<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">08<\/span>\u00a0Moulana<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">09<\/span>\u00a0Laa Moulana<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">10<\/span>\u00a0Luleide Ould Dendenni &#8211; Wezin<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">11<\/span>\u00a0Mohammed Guitar &amp; Sbeyniat &#8211; Gelbi Vatimetou<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">12<\/span>\u00a0Mohammed Cheikh Ould Syed &#8211; El Horr &amp; Az-Zrag<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"aec-tracknum\">13<\/span>\u00a0Kweli Ould Seyyid &amp; Klayhid Ould Meylid &#8211; Wezin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wallahi Le Zein<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":45006,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2486,726],"product_tag":[1909],"class_list":{"0":"post-44975","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-psychedelic-rock","7":"product_cat-world","8":"product_tag-mississippirecords","10":"first","11":"outofstock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/44975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=44975"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=44975"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=44975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
