Description
Previously unreleased 1980 album from the great Moroccan musician, composer, keyboardist and producer Abdou El Omari.
Abdou El Omari was born in 1945 in Tafraout, south of Agadir - a village suspended between the pink granite peaks of the Anti-Atlas and the waves of the Atlantic. Very little is known about the man - a veil of mystery still surrounds his life, only deepening the fascination. In the 1970s, as Morocco was transforming, Abdou El Omari shaped a sound of his own - a visionary blend of spiritual jazz, psychedelic funk, Moroccan traditions, and early electronic experimentation.
A pioneer of musical fusion, he opened paths that would remain unexplored for years. He passed away in 2010, never witnessing the rediscovery of his music by diggers, bloggers, and collectors online - on Discogs, Blogspot, and YouTube. A modest life, yet a lasting resonance.
Today, his work is resurfacing, rediscovered by a new generation of listeners in search of lost horizons. This record stands among its rarest and most precious fragments.
Available on black vinyl with a 4-page booklet and CD digipack, with 8-page booklet editions, with liner notes in French + English.
