Re: Judeo Arabic/north African

[robert wiener <wiener...>]

Joel,

I hadn't mentioned the Tunisian CD before and it's not a reissue of
your LP (which I do not own yet).

Haggada de Pessah': Rite Tunisien
Alain Scetbon et ses eleves
    (sorry for the absence of accents -- maybe Joel can tell me how)
Ness Music  796171 (France)
35 Rue Petit 75019
(33) 01 42 45 10 30
fax (33) 01 42 45 10 90
(purchased in Paris)


Am I correct in assuming that most (all?) of the Trésors de la Chanson
Judéo-Arabe series is secular (without any Jewish references) and in
Arabic?  In other words, without the label, even if I knew Arabic,
would I be able to figure out that it was Judeo-Arabe?

I came across a couple of other CDs in the Trésors de la Chanson
Judéo-Arabe series in a cut-out bin.

Mélodie 79107-2
Blond-Blond

Mélodie 79108-2
Luc Cherki

Is the overview,
Mélodies Judéo-Arabes d?autrefois Blue Silver 50556-2 1997,
distributed in the United States?  Any contact info?

Bob

Hi, Robert. What's the Tunisian CD, or wasn't I paying proper
attention...

Also, consider the following with a Sephardic Passover flavor:

Haggada de Pâques, Rite Judeo Tunisien
Cohen, Nathan
Dounia 198120
Paris France
Out of print LP

Gaon, Yehoram
Songs for Passover in the Sephardic Tradition
CBS 80668

Schwadron, Abraham A.
Chad Gadya: Passover Chant
Smithsonian Folkways 08920
(Many, many different traditions)

Voice of the Turtle
A Different Night
Kol HaTor KHT 018

Western Wind Vocal Ensemble
Passover Story, The
Western Wind
WW 1800

For Judeo-Arabe, the most prominent series is on Mélodie.
