Ahmed Fakroun – كلمات حب / Mots D'amour
More belated posts catching up on…
Ahmed Fakroun is a Libyan singer/songwriter/musician. On this album he mixes traditional Arabic sounds with heavy 80’s synths. He’s got a nice 80’s mullet on the cover to boot.
The stand out track is Soleil Soleil followed by Gelty. We use to spin both quite a bit on the radio. The rest is a bit hit and miss. It’s not bad, but I remembered why I hadn’t dug it out for awhile.
I picked this repress up from Round and Round in Naarm/Melbourne around 2016.
