Audio Music CD (2005) of Moh Alileche, pronounced Ali-LESH - North Africa's destiny- Tarwa N'Tamazgha
When it comes to the Berber--more properly Amazigh--people of Algeria, culture and politics can be hard to separate. The original inhabitants of North Africa have long felt under cultural attack in this country. They consider their language, lifestyle, and music, threatened by a government bent on Arabization of the country, most notably the mountainous Kabyle hinterlands, long the home of Tamazight. Kabyle's greatest modern troubadour, MatoubLounes, was assassinated for his activism in 1998. Since then, from his adopted home in California, Moh Alileche--also born in Kabylia--has taken up the baton. On this, his third and best recording, Alileche emerges as a powerful musical voice, driven by a life mission.
Song titles like Amezruy (A Culture on the Brink of Extinction) suggest didacticism rather than poetry. This song critiques the marketing of Algeria’s popular rai music, which Alileche argues is being used as a tool in the government’s acculturation campaign. Whatever one makes of the argument, the song itself is beautiful. A wheedling violin leads Alileche’s 9-piece ensemble into a relaxed, rolling desert groove--rich with flute, violin, mondol, and layered percussion working magic within a dense, 12/8 feel. Alileche’s voice a tuneful, buzzing presence throughout, expressing savvy mournfulness and soulful grit.
Most of these nine pieces begin by featuring one of the ensemble’s instruments--flute, violin, banjo, guitar, or mondol, the signature, paired-string lute of Kabylia. The first-rate players on this album make it Alileche’s most satisfying release yet, whether in eloquent, improvised introductory passages or lush ensemble playing. Alileche is not a virtuoso singer, but his voice has a calming warmth, and he skillfully places it within lush--but not overdone--orchestration that make it delightful to hear. The energized, hypnotic mood of striving in Avrid (Toward the Summit) the shaabi-like strut of Tamurt (The Abandoned Homeland) and the jazzy timbres ofAdu (Windstorm) show three different faces of a gifted composer and arranger.
Ultimately, this album is a celebration of culture, and two pieces conjure the mood of a village celebration. Tameghra (The Wedding Celebration) offers an ecstatic, chant-laden round of thumping cross rhythms, driving hand claps, and wild ululating by a group of women. Assirem(Hope) concludes the set with a loping, darkly serene instrumental. However engaged, Alileche is more than a musician with a cause. At a time when Amazight cultural expressions are receiving more and more attention and nurturing, he is a gifted and original voice and musician, and a man who has learned how to make a great record.

Hacene, thank you for your notification, I shall look forward to receiving the Sand Roses. And it is exciting to think my belts are being handmade especially for me in Algeria - it is obviously a fascinating country. I'm too old to travel now, but love learning about places I have never seen. The photos (modern and old) are fascinating. I run a very tiny gift shop in a very tiny place (Lemon Tree Passage). The shop is part of the waterside unit my husband Ray and I live in. Not to make a profit, but to keep me occupied and interested as he is an invalid now. The community is getting familiar with the fact that The Little Gift Shoppe always has something unusual. Not that you need to know all that, but I had to compliment you on your web site. I don't know who has created it for you, or if indeed you have put it together yourself, but whichever applies, it is one of the best sites, both from content and composition that I have visited. I don't know if Algerians recognise our New Year celebrations, but I send you and your family my latest buzz phrase.... Have a great 2008!
