Born to Berber parents in Morocco, <strong>Ideddir<\/strong> began making music at the age of 10 after being discovered singing in the stairwell by his school\u2019s headmaster. Encouraged by his peers, he began playing concerts, and his status grew. In 1987, he played a string of sold-out concerts in Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakesh, in support of a children\u2019s charity. The success of these concerts secured him a record deal, and he went to Paris to record his debut single \u201c<strong>Atfalouna<\/strong>\u201d in 1988.<\/p>\n<p>Released in 1989 on WEA, \u201c<strong>Atfalouna<\/strong>\u201d is a dense slab of multi-genre pop. An opening wash of digital synths and reverberant vocals quickly falls away to a cascade of orchestra hits and pulsing electronic drums. The monotone chant-rap of a female chorus collides with <strong>Ideddir<\/strong>\u2019s soaring melismatic vocals, pleading against the injustice and hunger in the world. While Hip-Hop and New Beat borrowed tropes from Arabic music, \u201c<strong>Atfalouna<\/strong>\u201d inverts the gesture, resituating orchestra hits and sampling techniques within a Moroccan music framework. A shorter instrumental version follows, which preserves the female vocals. Also included are two tracks not on the original 12\u201d. \u201cIbini\u201d is a moody, downtempo instrumental that sounds like a cult Italo B-side. The record closes with \u201cYdouchababe\u201d, an electro number driven by funky guitars, electronic claps, and a huge horn riff. Here, <strong>Ideddir<\/strong> sings of a youth festival honoring Hassan II, former king of Morocco.<\/p>\n<p>All songs were remastered by George Horn. The sleeve is a replica of the original 12\u201d cover art, featuring <strong>Ideddir<\/strong> set in a cheeky collage of clocks, columns, and camels. Also included is a postcard with a photo of <strong>Hassan<\/strong>, as well as lyrics in both Arabic and English. We will be donating 100% of proceeds from this release to Sphere who provide support to the young queer community across Ukraine and the Palestine Children&#8217;s Relief Fund who help provide urgent humanitarian care for Gaza&#8217;s children.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dark Entries<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Dark Entries<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Released in 1989 on WEA, \u201c<strong>Atfalouna<\/strong>\u201d is a dense slab of multi-genre pop.
