Rouicha R.I.P. (1950-2012)


Very sad to report the passing of the great Mohammed Rouicha. Thanks for the great tunes and your warm spirit. This is my other favorite Rouicha tape. Has the classics "Lil el Lil" and "Lahbiba", and fills out the last 4 minutes of side 2 riding out the groove with a lotar jam.

1) Lil el-Lil
2) Lakin ana Mellit
3) L-Hbiba

4) A Khuya ma Tkerh el Jamal
5) (ta'rida)

Get it here.

Also worth a listen is a recent collaboration between Rouicha and the Moroccan rock band Hoba Hoba Spirit - just hitting the interwebs this week:

    Hi Tim, very sad to learn about the passing away of Mohamed Rouicha. I had the honour meeting him a few times and enjoying the hospitality in his house when travelling Maroc in summer of 2007... Congratulation for your great blog, you really are putting on some hot tapes!
