Field recordings from the late 1950’s. The music is fascinating, mostly wailing voices backed by flute, percussion, and/or strings. Good notes about the instruments, the songs, and Bedouins. I especially liked #9 which is the sound of a wooden mortar & pestle grinding coffee (see cover).
1. Wailing vox & lute. Sounds like a young boy.
*2. Sweet & light instrumental for flute/drum.
*3. Uptempo, girlish voices, claps/cymbals/perc.
4. Rababa (1 stringed fiddle) & male vox. Whining, midtempo.
5. Male voice & hand claps. Bright & sort of happy
*6. A fast dance w/buzzing flute/vocals. Gets even faster. Wow.
7. Male voices, call-response. Midtempo, sort of hypnotic.
8. Rather mournful, male voice w/rababa. Interesting.
*9. Percussion as they grind coffee. Wonderful!
10. A love song. Male call-response w/rababa. Midtempo.
11. Another coffee grinder, w/vocals & rababa. Lively.
12. Solo pipe, then vocal in honor of the King. Relaxed.
13. Vox/pipe/claps. Midtempo & kind of happy.
14. Vox/rababa. Mostly slowish.
