It's a good thing, though. Or, used to be anyways: some ex-bloggers used it like Holy Warbles to garner some limelight from re-posting these links as his (most Russians are nerdbags that insist on upping audio-files in FLAC which is what H.W. used to do as well), but alas, he's gone now and so are most of these Russian websites.<br /><br />I am working instead on the earliest albums that are unavailable to DL from the web. Not an easy job as I got myself entangled up with at least 14 cassette drops to feature at my post that I shall dedicate to your person and esteemed efforts. And, none of these 14 is available as a DepositFile save from Nensa Souad (the very first one on top of this list), and Anajit Anajit (original release). <br /><br />My fingers hurt at the mo'. Lol. I might not finish this enormous job tonight, although I wish to. But...

I shall provide you with the link soon.<br /><br />Some of his earliest albums are still downloadable from DepositFiles.

By way of mentioning this word... I have to remember Tim Abdellah.<br /> <br />So, Tim:<br />Cheb Khaled sang live once with a Gnawa band (featuring Hamid Al-Kasri) at the world-famous Gnawa Festival of Morocco (check photo: http://www.aawsat.com/2010/05/24/images/daily1.570931.jpg ).

Most of the music that was comped at Raï Rebels was taken from his very late 80's to mid-90's work. The realy early stuff made by Cheb Khaled was anything between 1975-1978 (he played with a Raï band called Al-Azhar, or The Flowers plus many other ensembles, then duetted with some Raï female singers, until he finally went solo around 1978).<br /><br />Around the blogosphere, one can find some of his earlier cassettes. I actually thought that you must have seen these around. If this is not the case, just kindly, let me know and I shall provide you with the links (both for DLing and the post-links).<br /><br />Many regards, Gary and Tim.<br /><br />H.H.Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462766826817071023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1431617529154334054.post-54600949484879903502012-05-01T12:17:33.070-04:002012-05-01T12:17:33.070-04:00Wow Gary - thanks for this!

I remember buying that "Rai Rebels" compilation when it was new. It has a fantastic photo of Khaled on the cover, fronting a big orchestra with violins, a qanun and an accordion. I was disappointed that the recordings on the album didn't sound anything like that. Now, years later, it's great to hear what that picture looked like!tim abdellahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301786830697929252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1431617529154334054.post-51709291928734047222012-04-30T22:06:40.296-04:002012-04-30T22:06:40.296-04:00hi... thanks! looking forward to those khaled oldi...hi... thanks! looking forward to those khaled oldies but goldies.

I actually wish more of his early releases will see some kind of re-release. Don't even mind about the 80ies, late 80ies stuff... the 90ies and from then on get really really "over-produced" (kind of same thing with Soca music - which I have been listening to a lot lately... so difficult to find the real good gems... but there are certain 70ies and early 80ies productions which are just beautiful! Musically and lyric-wise). Just check out this beautiful song "king short shirt - press on" from 1979: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvbP0cO7owI - - - Here a part of the lyrics - so beautiful: <br /><br />"Sometimes, it seems<br /><br />Ignorance conquers all<br /><br />Knowledge and wisdom fall<br /><br />Press on, Press on<br /><br />Sometimes, It seems<br /><br />Like peace gone on holiday<br /><br />And violence come out to play<br /><br />Press on, Press on"<br /><br />Cheers; DubMeDubMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949474914909174553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1431617529154334054.post-26663025321146397472012-04-30T19:15:36.700-04:002012-04-30T19:15:36.700-04:00Well hey, this is the s**t, Gary!
