Here's another cassette of amarg souss from Raiss Hmad Amentague. Unlike the cassette we shared last week, this one does not sound like it has been sourced from a vinyl recording.
From what I could gather from online sources, Raiss Hmad Amentague excelled in his adherence to poetic meter, and love poetry was his specialty. However, like other rwayes, his themes also ran to the social and topical. "Qsidat L'Essence" (The Gasoline Poem) would appear to be an example of this. I don't understand Tachelhit, but I did recognize a bunch of automobile-related words in the song that are also found in darija (Moroccan Arabic), which anyway mainly came from French. Then again, there are plenty of songs around the world where cars and driving are metaphors for something else, so this could be a love poem after all...
