Audio Music CD (2005) of Moh Alileche, pronounced Ali-LESH - North Africa's destiny- Tarwa N'Tamazgha
When it comes to the Berber--more properly Amazigh--people of Algeria, culture and politics can be hard to separate. The original inhabitants of North Africa have long felt under cultural attack in this country. They consider their language, lifestyle, and music, threatened by a government bent on Arabization of the country, most notably the mountainous Kabyle hinterlands, long the home of Tamazight. Kabyle's greatest modern troubadour, MatoubLounes, was assassinated for his activism in 1998. Since then, from his adopted home in California, Moh Alileche--also born in Kabylia--has taken up the baton. On this, his third and best recording, Alileche emerges as a powerful musical voice, driven by a life mission.
Song titles like Amezruy (A Culture on the Brink of Extinction) suggest didacticism rather than poetry. This song critiques the marketing of Algeria’s popular rai music, which Alileche argues is being used as a tool in the government’s acculturation campaign. Whatever one makes of the argument, the song itself is beautiful. A wheedling violin leads Alileche’s 9-piece ensemble into a relaxed, rolling desert groove--rich with flute, violin, mondol, and layered percussion working magic within a dense, 12/8 feel. Alileche’s voice a tuneful, buzzing presence throughout, expressing savvy mournfulness and soulful grit.
Most of these nine pieces begin by featuring one of the ensemble’s instruments--flute, violin, banjo, guitar, or mondol, the signature, paired-string lute of Kabylia. The first-rate players on this album make it Alileche’s most satisfying release yet, whether in eloquent, improvised introductory passages or lush ensemble playing. Alileche is not a virtuoso singer, but his voice has a calming warmth, and he skillfully places it within lush--but not overdone--orchestration that make it delightful to hear. The energized, hypnotic mood of striving in Avrid (Toward the Summit) the shaabi-like strut of Tamurt (The Abandoned Homeland) and the jazzy timbres ofAdu (Windstorm) show three different faces of a gifted composer and arranger.
Ultimately, this album is a celebration of culture, and two pieces conjure the mood of a village celebration. Tameghra (The Wedding Celebration) offers an ecstatic, chant-laden round of thumping cross rhythms, driving hand claps, and wild ululating by a group of women. Assirem(Hope) concludes the set with a loping, darkly serene instrumental. However engaged, Alileche is more than a musician with a cause. At a time when Amazight cultural expressions are receiving more and more attention and nurturing, he is a gifted and original voice and musician, and a man who has learned how to make a great record.

My order was shipped promptly and I was happy with the quality of it, however I don't feel the packaging was adequate for an overseas / airmail package. I always felt confident that this business offered a personal service and that I could contact Mr.Hacene should I require any help. Improvements I would like to suggest are: - that more specific measurements are added to items, so customers can know exactly what to expect as this makes the shopping process easier - that overseas shipments are packaged more securely / adequately to prevent damage to items - that more stock such as women's jewellery items from the Chaoui region could be added. In conclusion I would like express great happiness in finding an English language business that offers North African products such as those from Kabylia. The website is also a nice cultural resource for those who wish to know more about aspects of some of the Algerian cultures. Thank you Hacene. Keep up the good work, Allahumma barik!

I am so pleased to send this email. The Nativity arrived today in perfect condition. It is beautiful. Thank you for helping me receive this Set. Please pass along my thanks to the artist. Does she make other figures? I would like to add some more 'village people' to the Set. This could be women and men bringing gifts to the woman and boy. Maybe typical foods or fruits, etc. I realize this is an unusal request, but maybe just give it some thought. Once again, thank you for everything. Joe
