Our Take

Ah, Becharia Hasna El Smaa Smaa's latest offering is a deliciously quirky and eclectic mix of musical genres that will leave you scratching your head in awe. El Smaa Smaa is a force to be reckoned with, effortlessly blending traditional North African sounds with modern electronica in a way that is as perplexing as it is captivating.

From the opening track "Sahraoui Fantasia" to the closing notes of "Gnaoui Bounce," this album takes you on a wild ride through a musical landscape that is as vast and varied as the Sahara desert itself. El Smaa Smaa's haunting vocals soar over intricate percussion and hypnotic melodies, creating a sonic tapestry that is at once familiar and foreign.

But don't let the exotic sound fool you – there is a cheeky sense of humor running through El Smaa Smaa's music that is impossible to ignore. Tracks like "Berber Bop" and "Funky Fez" will have you tapping your feet and grinning from ear to ear, while the more introspective moments of "Nomad's Lament" and "Desert Dreams" will have you pondering the mysteries of the universe.

In short, BECHARIA HASNA EL Smaa Smaain is a delightful romp through the world of North African music, full of surprises and delights at every turn. Whether you're a seasoned world music aficionado or simply looking for something a bit different to spice up your playlist, this album is sure to tick all the boxes. Don't sleep on El Smaa Smaa – trust me, you'll regret it.
