Fairouz – Soirée Avec Fairouz

Label:Pathé – LPVOXA 3 Country:France Used LP 19XX Disc:VG+ (looks great but feel some tics, not bad shape overall) Jacket:VG+ (light age wear, no tear/split, not bad condition) Lebanese diva Fairouz, who has been active for more than half a century and represents Arab scene. This originally 1972 release appears to be primarily live recordings, and includes a lot of sophisticated tracks such as A4 "Ya Hneyina" which blends oriental melodies with alluring ethereal atmosphere, and A2 "Chetti Ya Dinie," where she sings with high energy accompanied by percussion and chorus, as well as lo-fi oriental pop of A5 "Ya Ghzeyel" which begins with a nostalgic intro. A total of 11 diverse tracks, each with a sense of presence and dynamic contrast. As always, one is amazed by her exceptional vocal ability and the high level of musicianship in the backing band, which creates an intricate groove. This is the French release version. 半世紀以上に渡り活動するアラブ歌謡を代表するレバノンの歌姫Fairouz。この72年リリース作品は主にライブ音源と思いますが、オリエンタルな旋律と妖艶な霊気が混じり合うようなA4”Ya Hneyina”やテンション高めにパーカッション隊とコーラス隊と歌い上げるA2”Chetti Ya Dinie”などに加え、ノスタルジックなイントロから始まるLo-fi的オリエンタル・ポップA5”Ya Ghzeyel”など渋～い楽曲も多く収録。臨場感と共にメリハリをつけた多様な全11曲。歌唱力の高さと絡みつくようなグルーヴを奏でるバックの演奏力の高さに驚かされます。フランスリリース版。 A1 - Sahretna (Debké) A2 - Chetti Ya Dinie A3 - IlarrayaHeyk Mecq Ezzaaroura A4 - Ya Hneyina A5 - Ya Ghzeyel A6 - Hellala Leya B2 - Nahna Ouel Amar B5 - Debna Ouma Tobna
