Fantazia
Mul Sheshe (World Village)
fRoots says: 'A bi-cultural nine-piece mix of musicians from both the UK and the London-based Algerian diaspora... Add the very welcome top layer of dark chocolatey vocals from Mourad Simba who joined the band in 2002, and you end up with the rich, satisfying texture of their current sound. Fuelled by a base of Maghrebi musical traditions - and with multi-cultural guest performers aplenty - the classy, jazzy brass of Rachel Bartlett on saxes and Bellowhead's Andy Mellon on trumpet give the album a funky party spirit, but without compromising the rai, cha'abi, Berber and Gnawa roots and rhythms of dazzlingly skilful oud player Yazid Fentazi's compositions and the cracking percussion of Karim Dellali.'

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
