This latest sampler from the Metro label "Cafe" Series concentrates on Algerian Rai music, as heard all over North Africa. Andy Morgan's extensive sleevenotes spin an enchanting tale of the music playing in the imaginary cafe of Mr Faouzi, in the medina of Casablanca. Listening especially to Johanne Hayat's 'Parfums d'Orient',I was transported back to the alleyway cafes of Tangier, sticky lamb tagine with couscous, and the smell of dubious cigarettes in the air. Raina Rai's pulsating 'Hagda' gets the Cafe rocking whilst 'Wahlaich', by Haim, brings on the bellydancers. The final track 'Adieu', with Cheikh Djelloul Remchaoui's haunting spoken and sung narration, brings Cafe Arabia to a close and ensures fantastic memories of North African journeys, whether imaginary or real.

wow you cant get better value than this!
the sleeve notes on these 'cafe' series are a piece of story telling worthy of any travel guide sunday smart magazine..semi fictional inventions..and the music is pulsating, eastern imbued rythmic and evocative...I half expected Sid James and the 'Carry ON' crew to emerge in my mind screen disguised as overweight dancing girls...a great CD of tasters of the various styles of arabia music.. go from here to the more serious electro-upbeat arabian beats and club CDs...but for a real taste of the basics of middle eastern Rai styles... this is arabia on a budget and great world music... one of the reasons why no one should be limited ever to listening only to their own inherited trap culture music... go out there listen and feel the sand under your feet !
