VARIOUS Da'asa: The Haunting Sounds Of Yemenite Israeli Funk 1973-1984
FORTUNA
World / Rare Grooves / Roots 2LP (GAT) / 29.50 EUR / New Records
Fortuna Records deliver a stellar compilation of real-life magic created by immigrants from Yemen, in Tel Aviv, from the mid-seventies to the early eighties. Ranging from extremely rare to previously unreleased, these tracks are a result of a unique scene which blended funk, soul, jazz & disco with traditional Yemenite rhythms & sounds.
It cannot get more obscure than this!
Fortuna heads: Look out for an unreleased Tsvia Abarbanel from 1969!!! Glorious gatefold LP with a 14-page booklet telling the fascinating story of this movement, for the very first time!
