| The Abranis - Amazigh Freedom Rock 1973-1983 | Label: Bongo Joe Records |
Les Disques Bongo Joe returns to the searing Kabyle rock of Abranis, the pioneering Algerian band that blended traditional Berber music with Western rock, folk, disco and funk, while proudly celebrating its Kabyle heritage.
Amazigh Freedom Rock is a comprehensive overview of their discography, from the garage-rock experiments of their early days to their luxuriously orchestrated North African fusion masterpieces of the 1980s. The story of the Abranis begins in the mid-sixties, when Shamy El Baz and Karim Abdenou crossed paths in a bohemian district of Paris.
Both are Kabyles, the Berber people of the northern regions of Algeria, both love rock music, and both are passionate about developing a modern Algerian sound, inspired as much by Kabyle rhythms and melodies as by Western rock. The two musicians founded Les Abranis in 1967. Throughout the 70s, they moved further and further away from the garage and psychedelia of their beginnings and began to interpret their Kabyle repertoire in a more open and creative way, integrating prog rock, jazz and some early electronic influences. .
Over 11 electrifying tracks, Amazigh Freedom Rock 1973-1983 highlights their legacy as underground kings of Kabyle rock.
