Alla
Hi
Can anyone give me any info on CDs by the Algerian oud player 'Alla'. I am really interested in any solo oud CDs without harmonica (or other
instruments of torture!) on them.
Best wishes
David

Hi Dubai244
Thanks for the tip, but I am already familiar with these guys. I was specifically looking for info on Alla really, as I do not have any of his CDs.
Best wishes
David
P.S. I have listed the CDs (according to artist) in my collection at:

David,
I have two Alla CD's. One is solo; the other has some percussion accompaniment. I don't have them with me at work but I recall them both
being on Al Sur. I'll e-mail you the specific titles after I get home. Both are excellent, by the way.

David,
The two "Alla" CD's I have were both issued by Al Sur. The first appears to self-titled. The catalog number is ALCD 110 and was issued
in 1992. The second I have is titled “Taghit.” It is catalog number ALCD 132, and it looks to have been produced in 1994. On both of the CD
covers it also says “”Foundou from Bechar,” which apparently refers to his nickname and the town where he resides. The first CD has copy in both
French and English about his life. Surprisingly, the second CD has no copy other than track titles and credits.
If you need more information, feel free to contact me off list.
Cheers,
William
