Originally released on cassette, it has never before been available on vinyl. Newly remastered, this edition features the original Relax-In cassette artwork from 1985 and includes new liner notes by Mario Choueiry of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZiad Rahbani, who passed away in 2025, remains one of the most influential figures in modern Arabic music and a cultural icon in Lebanon. A musician, composer, pianist, producer and playwright, he helped modernize Arabic music over five decades. The son of composer Assi Rahbani and singer Fairuz, he shaped her late 70s–80s recordings producing Wahdon and Maarifti Feek, while building a major solo career with classics such as Abu Ali and Houdou Nisbi, which have become cult favourites for a new generation of DJs and music lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1985 in Lebanon, Ana Moush Kafer stands as one of Rahbani’s key achievements. Recorded at his By-Pass Studio during the Lebanese Civil War, it blends Arabic melodic traditions with jazz-funk, bossa nova and Western arrangements. Originally cassette-only, it became one of his most revered releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the album, Rahbani’s writing reflects the turbulence of wartime Beirut with a blend of sharp social observation, political satire and melancholy. It captures a moment in Lebanese cultural history where experimentation, satire and popular song intersected, giving the album its enduring influence among music lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSung by Rahbani and Sami Hawat, alongside Beirut-based musicians, the album features both Western and traditional Arabic instruments. It balances refined arrangements with lyrical irony, social commentary and political reflection, which remain deeply resonant in today’s context in Lebanon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the highlights of the album is the song “Shou A’ada Ma Bada,” with lyrics by Joseph Harb, which reveals a clear bossa nova influence, while the closing track, “Al Mokawama Al Watania Al Lobnani,” offers a deeply human view of war, avoiding patriotic cliché in favour of a nuanced perspective rooted in lived experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Mario Choueiry observes in his liner notes, “Ana Moush Kafer stands as one of the high points of modern Arab political songwriting, yet transcends its historical and geographical context through the universal relevance of its themes and the timeless quality of its music.” Forty years on, Ana Moush Kafer remains a landmark of Arab music. Wewantsounds presents it on vinyl for the first time, newly remastered and featuring original artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis long-awaited reissue restores one of Ziad Rahbani’s most important works to circulation, reaffirming its place as a defining statement in modern Arabic music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

The title means \"\"Women\"\" in Bambara, signalling the album's central theme from the outset. Many of the songs draw on Sangaré's own experiences as a woman in a male-dominated society that continues to embrace polygamy. Her lyrics address issues of love, marriage, independence and women's rights with a directness that was both courageous and groundbreaking. The music was just as revolutionary as the subject matter. Rooted in the powerful, pulse-like rhythms of the traditional Wassoulou sound and centred on the brilliant kamalengoni playing of Bénogo Diakité, Moussolou updated these traditions with modern arrangements and instrumentation that resonated with a new generation of listeners in Mali and across West Africa. Both deeply respectful of tradition and unmistakably contemporary, the album quickly became a major success, launching Sangaré's career while she was still very young. World Circuit's Nick Gold first encountered Moussolou through a cassette given to him by Ali Farka Touré in Bamako, where the album seemed to be playing everywhere, providing an all-enveloping soundtrack to the city. Captivated by what he heard, Gold was determined to release the album internationally, beginning a long and fruitful relationship with Oumou Sangaré. The album established Sangaré as both a formidable musical talent and a socially conscious artist, redefining how traditional Malian music could engage with contemporary issues. Its blend of cultural authenticity and fearless advocacy has made Moussolou a landmark recording in African and world music, laying the foundation for Sangaré's enduring reputation as one of the continent's most celebrated artists and a powerful voice for women's rights. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of World Circuit Records, this empowering and influential debut is being reissued on transparent turquoise vinyl. The release also includes a full-colour booklet featuring lyrics in both English and French.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e1.

Song and sound implode and become indistinguishable from each other, creating something that reverberates with the tradition of “cursed poets” (poètes maudits) that is the inspiration for the project as a whole. Writing for chorus, Thacker’s compressed poetry allows words to undergo sonic transformations. Similarly, Amini draws on a wide range of techniques (including the use of voice synthesis software), to transform Thacker’s minimalist poetry into spectral and haunting soundscapes.
