My daughter was on her honeymoon in Morocco last year, and I asked her to pick up recordings of oud music if she happened across any. She brought a couple back including one with only arabic script on the labels. The artwork is pretty cheap and cheerful, and looks like a CD-R labelled "Super Mégazone" and with a copyright warning in French. The oud in the picture looks Egyptian, and to my inexpert ears the music sounds Egyptian too.
Can any one tell me what the Arabic (or Berber, or whatever) says?
The music is poorly recorded (a cassette dump?), oud with percussion backing and no vocals, and may be belly-dance music. It would seem to be in the same class as uncredited recordings of e.g. "Irish Reels And Jigs", or "Bluegrass Hits" or "Jazz Band Classics" or whatever. The musicianship is good, but the material is just horsed out. I've uploaded it anyway for those that are interested.
