WESTERN SAHARA

Currently occupied by Morocco but actively fighting for independence. I would expect that these albums will be helping that fight by bringing the plight of the country to a wider audience.

MARIEM HASSAN CON LEYOAD SONGS OF THE SAHARAN WOMEN INN1114-2 CD 14.80 COL
According to Jamie Renton of Froots the album is the rawest, dirtiest slice of blues he has heard in quite a while. Sounds like a pretty good description to me.

3 CD's and a 124 page book make up this package.
VARIOUS ARTISTS STARRY NIGHTS IN WESTERN SAHARA ROUCD5079 CD £ 13.80
As the blurb on the CD says Haunting, evocative and inspirational, the extraordinary voices heard on Starry Nights in Western Sahara tell the stiory of the Saharawis. Straddling tradition and inovation, the songs embody the sentiments and experiences of an entire people, a dispossessed nation, longing to return to a free and independent Western Sahara.
