Song: "Ana Bas Saktalak"
Artist: Nancy Mounir with Fatma Sherry
Album: Nozhet El Nofous (2022)
Also try: Women of Egypt 1924-1931: Pioneers of Stardom and Fame; old 78s of Egyptian music
Commentary: So many wonderful musical traditions around the world. I'm so glad there's so much access to so much of it today. I'm grateful to the musicians and their lineages. Appreciate the musicologists and archivists preserving these histories. And I ALSO love the current artists working from and with older stuff. So this album is dope. Apparently Nancy Mounir is also in a metal band (Massive Scar Era).

"The Tragic Tale of Bisen Francisco" by Signor Benedick the Moor
Song: The Tragic Tale of Bisen Francisco
Artist: SB the Moor
Album: El Negro (2014)
Commentary: Another excellent Scaruffi find. I don't know how often I disclose in this blog that I find a lot of great material from Piero Scaruffi's lists. He's pretty good with experimental music and stuff that pushes genre boundaries. But yeah, this album is cool and SB makes stuff I'm definitely interested in.
