Thanks for this link.

Unfortunately two of their CDs are out of print.

The nidaa abou mrad one, and the syriac church one.

Any chance of getting them from anywhere?

[AmbroseBierce]

Hatim, thanks for the links. Inedit is indeed one of the best world music labels - I have yet to come across a second-rank album in their catalogue. I buy their CDs without listening first and have never been disappointed. I didn't know though they put the booklets for download for free on their website. Great!

Najib, I have the Nidaa Abou Mrad album - very nice music. He is playing kemenche rather than violin if I remember correctly. I can upload the CD here or at rapidshare (and send you the link by PM). What do you prefer?

[Hattouma]

of course we should mention that this is not exactly a commercial label but part of Ministry of Culture and Francophony (Maison des cultures du monde ) under direction f Cherif Khazndar)..
Najib I got Nidaa 's cd via Axel in Germany ,i think you can still find it there if you want the original .. I admit i liked it less than his music in the Egyptian tradition . He is playing the joza in it (no violin).

Thanks Ambrose and Hatim,

me being me, I'd rather get the original if possible, so an e-mail to your friend Axel is on its way.

If I arrive to a dead wall, I'll let you know.

Thanks
Najib

ofcourse next to INEDIT we should add :
OCORA . Radio France

http://www.radiofrance.fr/divers/boutique/collec/archives.php?collection=1

French label Ocora (Office de Cooperation Radiophonique) was founded in 1957 by composer, pianist and musicologist Charles Duvelle as a facility to train technicians from Africa for work in national broadcasting services in the emergent post-colonial countries.

The series always employed exacting standards to ensure the musical, acoustic and temporal authenticity of the pieces. Ocora Radio-France recordings became alongside Smithonian Folkways recordings a world famous collection for traditional music resources on records.

(note you will find many of the albums on this forum: skafunkrastapunk . com

This site unfortunately gives no detailed information such as artists involved, tracklist, etc. You can find more (though not all) on a more general music catalogue site from Belgium:
http://www.lamediatheque.be/med/

As for skafunkrastapunk, to say "you find many of the albums" there, is a gross understatement. In fact by now only about 60 are missing - from a catalogue of far above 300.
