More amazing 78s dug out of the EMI archive, this time documenting the rich, fluid, urban kaleidescope of 20s Baghdad. Arabic folk singers, professional Jewish oud players, dabka dance songs, Kurdish violinists, double reed zurna players & forbidden women singers all rub shoulders like calligraphy curlicues in book margins. Effervescent frission and haunting calls to God just explode from the grooves. Incredible notes that include translations of lyrics, analysis of styles, & a story from of the city once bedecked by coffeeshops & victrolas by a man who knew most of the musicians on the recordings when he was a boy. Tracklisting: Mulla Abdussaheb-Ya Ymma Weya Bab, Sayed Abbood-Min Fergetak Lilyom, Dahi Ben Walid-Soubhanak Allah, Sultana Youssef-Khouthini Bthemmetak, Salim Daoud-Abuthiyya, Khedayer Bin Kessab-Taqsim, Mulla Seoud El Koweity-Kassem Miro, Siddiqa El Mullaya-Wehak El Kab Walkossein, Hdhairy Abou Aziz-Fahasboukom Hatha, Kemani Moubar-Taqsim, Badria Anwar-Lega Taresh Habibi, Said El Kurdi-Aman Aman Zakko, Siddiqa El Mullaya-Ma Tehenn Alayya, Sayed Abbood-Shlon Aslak, Kememtchedji Alecco-Taqsim, Salim Doud-Abney Eqdah Part 1, Salim Daoud-Abney Eqdah Part 2, Hdhairy Abou Aziz-Wenini, Sultana Youssef-Malek Ana, Badria Amwar-Abis Ras Eddelil, Saleh Ibrahim-Taqsim.
